Arthur Rinderknech vs Novak Djokovic prediction

Arthur Rinderknech advanced to the third-round of Wimbledon for the second straight year after a comfortable win over Martin Damm. The Frenchman was not broken and saved all four break points on offer as he won 6-4 7-6 (1) 6-3 after two hours and three minutes. Rinderknech powered down 20 aces on his way to victory.

He will face 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic next. Djokovic continued his quest for an eighth Wimbledon title with a 12th straight win over old rival Stefanos Tsitsipas. The 39-year-old broke on four separate occasions as he easily beat the Greek 6-3 6-4 6-2 on Centre Court. Djokovic struck 33 winners against just seven unforced errors and was not broken during the match.

This is likely to be a sterner test for Djokovic, as Rinderknech is capable of troubling the top players on grass, but the Serb should still have more than enough quality to advance comfortably.
