THE PREDICTION
World number one Novak Djokovic looks more and more like the 2021 Wimbledon champion with each passing round as he swept aside the 18th seed Cristian Garin in straight sets on Monday. The double defending champion is chasing a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam to go level with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal this fortnight and in this form it seen sit would take one of those two, or perhaps world number two Daniil Medvedev, to truly challenge him. Still, world number 48 Marton Fucsovics will give it his all on Tuesday as he comes off one of the best wins of his career against nemesis Andrey Rublev. The Hungarian has lost to Rublev five times since last October but a five-set battle against the world number seven on ‘Manic Monday’ earned him a first Grand Slam quarter-final and plenty of new fans.
The Wimbledon crowd will likely back Fucsovics as a an underdog who will chase every ball and the 29-year-old is an immense athlete, likely one of the fittest men on tour. The Hungarian’s game suits the grass and he will test Djokovic throughout this exciting clash but realistically the Serb is not a great match-up for him. 34-year-old Djokovic will enjoy this clash as the best returner in the game and there should be some breath-taking rallies in this third meeting between the two. Djokovic leads their head-to-head 2-0 but Fucsovics has taken a set from him on both occasions at the 2018 US Open and the 2019 Qatar Open. For that reason, take Djokovic to win outright here but despite Fucsovics’ exploits this week Djokovic should still snatch this in three.
