Zizou Bergs vs Novak Djokovic prediction
Novak Djokovic once again had to overcome physical issues as well as his opponent to book a spot in the quarter-finals in Shanghai.
The four-time champion had multiple medical time-outs but dug dip to see off Jaume Munar by a 6-3 5-7 6-2 scoreline.
The Serb now faces Zizou Bergs for the very first time after the Belgian came through 3-6 7-5 7-6 epic at the expense of Gabriel Diallo.
Bergs has put together some fabulous results in this tournament after an indifferent spell prior to it, but can he follow up wins over the likes of Casper Ruud, Seb Korda and Francisco Cerundolo by taking the biggest scalp of all?
Well, the world number 44 has a shot, simply because Djokovic has had so many physical troubles so far in this event.
We’ve consistently backed the 24-time major winner for straight set victories given his ability to grow into tournaments, but it has yet to transpire.
It remains to be seen if he has shaken them and can produce his best display yet. The odds won’t be too favourable just backing Djokovic anyway, so it may be worth a punt on Bergs taking it the distance.
Zizou Bergs vs Novak Djokovic tip: Over 2.5 sets
