My Prediction
Djokovic in 4 sets
Join us for a thrilling quarterfinal at the Roland Garros where we have a clash of titans between Alexander Zverev, seeded 3, and Novak Djokovic, having a 6th seed. Now, these are two players who know each other's strengths and weaknesses inside out.
Let's not forget their last face-off when Djokovic was served a slice of humble pie by the young Zverev. But, oh dear, was that a blip on the radar? Because rewind a bit further back in August 2023 and it was Novak who demolished Zverev, not dropping a single set. The past, it seems, is a mixed bag for both.
Rolling our eyes over their recent results, Djokovic has been dishing out bagels like a bakery, leaving his competitors with love in every single match, while Zverev, despite his latest hiccup against Muller, seems back in the groove with his strong serves and forehand shots, making his opponents run across the court.
Look, Zverev may have the higher seed, but this isn't a beauty pageant, it doesn't always mean you wear the crown. On clay, Djokovic is as slippery as an eel, showing his competitors how it's done.
Though the betting gods might favor the Djoker at $1.91, it is imperative to remember that sports never adheres to laws of paperwork or favoritism. It will come down to who has their day.
Taking everything into consideration, pull in your lawn chairs, pop your corns, because we are in for a rollercoaster ride. I'd say, expect to see some fireworks, but don't expect a complete annihilation.
