Hijikata - Djokovic. Prediction for the Miami ATP match
Hijikata and Djokovic will meet in the second round of the Miami Masters on March 21. This season, the tennis players have already met with each other. Their face-to-face match took place at the beginning of the year at a tournament in Brisbane, and Djokovic won in two sets in that meeting. Will Novak be able to beat the Australian again? - the bets for this match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Rinky Hijikata
AustraliaCurrent form
Hijikata defeated Hamad Medjedovic 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 at the start of the Miami Masters. Rinkie scored four aces, made six break points, and lost five games on his serve. For the Australian representative, it was his seventh victory on the open hard court this season, with nine losses.
Professional qualities
Hijikatu can be considered a universal, although it looks a little weaker on the ground. He moves quickly around the court, manages to return difficult balls, has a good backhand and successfully scores points on the first serve. However, its disadvantages include a low percentage of first-ball hits, not the most powerful forehand attack, and a weak backhand.
Current indicators in the tour
Hijikata has won ten trophies in his career. Last season, the 24-year-old Australian won the challenger at Playford. Rinkie is currently in tenth place in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Hijikata has won 4 of the last 10 matches.
Novak Djokovic
SerbiaCurrent form
Djokovic has failed the last two tournaments. At the Doha competition, he lost to Matteo Berrettini in the first round, and at Indian Wells, Novak lost to Botik Van de Sandschulp at the start. The Serb has scored seven wins and four losses on the open hard court this season.
Professional qualities
It's hard to find weaknesses in Djokovic. Novak may have become less mobile on the tennis court as he got older, but his ideal technique has not gone away - a perfect forehand and an almost perfect backhand. And the experience, of course, gives the Serbian legend an advantage on the court over the younger generation.
Current indicators in the tour
Djokovic is the fifth racket of the world at the moment. The Serb has won 99 ATP trophies in his career. Last season, Novak won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
Interesting facts for betting
Djokovic is a six-time winner of the Miami Masters.

8.01Tip and bets
Djokovic is too far from his optimal form at the moment. The recent match against Van de Sandschulp in Indian Wells clearly demonstrated that Novak is currently in poor playing conditions. But we need to get out of this state, and it seems to us that a duel against Hijikata is an ideal option for this. The Serb has already faced Rinkie this season and beat him in Brisbane in two sets. Most likely, he will be able to deal with it in Miami.
Our prediction is that Djokovic will win with a handicap of (-5) games for a coefficient of 1.77
Bet on the total
This season, Djokovic beat Hijikata on the Brisbane hard courts. And he did it in two sets. A similar outcome is expected in the upcoming match.
The second betting tip is a total of less than 20 games for a coefficient of 1.86
Bet on the first set
In Djokovic's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming match against Hijikata will also start with the grassroots first game.
The betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.78
