NOVAK DJOKOVIC VS TOMAS MACHAC PREDICTION

World number one Novak Djokovic beat Tallon Griekspoor in straight sets on Thursday to maintain a solid route to a likely 99th career ATP title this weekend. The 37-year-old made the rare decision to play a tournament the week before a Grand Slam after enduring a less than satisfactory clay swing, let alone season, so far but there are promising signs that he made the correct call.

23-year-old Tomas Machac could break inside the top 40 for the first time after an excellent straight-sets victory over Alex Michelsen on Thursday, backing-up a solid opener over Jack Draper. The Czech has so far looked his most comfortable on the faster surfaces but his powerful game can cause anyone problems on his day, as Djokovic is all too aware after a tight three-set victory over Machac at the Dubai Tennis Championships last spring.

Back Djokovic to win this second meeting in straight sets but consider an outright option inside an accumulator.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC VS TOMAS MACHAC TIP: NOVAK DJOKOVIC TO WIN 2-0
