Auger-Aliassime vs Djokovic Preview, Prediction
By Tudor Cosma
Felix Auger-Aliassime Betting Preview
Auger-Aliassime is a 25-year-old Canadian who's ranked fourth in the ATP.
He's currently in the best position of his career. However, Auger-Aliassime really hasn't reached the heights that experts projected of him. He debuted on the pro circuit at a very young age, and even then, people saw him as a future great champion.
He impressed not only physically, but also with the quality and maturity of his game.
But ultimately, Auger-Aliassime has only reached the semifinals of the US Open, maxing out in the quarterfinals in the other three majors.
He had a rather complicated stretch that featured many injuries and problems, but he's now healthy. He's not exactly young anymore, but he still has at least 10 years in which he can fight for the most important trophies.
Therefore, it wouldn't be a surprise if he ended his career with at least one Grand Slam trophy.
So far, he hasn't impressed in majors, which is why experts don't consider him for a possible title at Wimbledon. He has an excellent ranking, but the remaining draw remains very tough, meaning I don't think he's truly capable of earning this trophy.
Auger-Aliassime is tall and has one of the best serves in the world. However, I find his return and baseline play more impressive, as he's able to stay in extended exchanges with anyone. He has an efficient forehand and has also started to improve his backhand, which has been a weakness of his.
He's become stronger mentally than when he was younger, but I wouldn't say he impresses in this regard because he often is lacking in key moments.
Last season was a good one for the Canadian, with three trophies at Adelaide, Montpellier and Brussels.
Meanwhile, the new season has been quite solid, with an indoor trophy in Montpellier. He reached the final in Rotterdam, and also appeared in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, where he lost to Flavio Cobolli.
On grass, he hasn't impressed, losing to Kamil Majchrzak in 's-Hertogenbosch and to Frances Tiafoe in Halle.
However, at Wimbledon, he's looked much better. He got past Dino Prizmic, Michael Zheng and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, one of the fittest athletes in the world.
Against Davidovich Fokina, Auger-Aliassime could've closed the match much faster, but he had a significant drop in play at the end of the fourth set.
Novak Djokovic Betting Preview
Djokovic is a 39-year-old Serbian who's ranked eighth in the ATP rankings.
He's the record-breaking man in tennis, an athlete who's dominated the tour for a good part of the last 20 years. He's now at the end of his career, but he shouldn't be underestimated.
He remains in the top 10 and, above all, remains capable of winning Grand Slams. Although the matches won't be easy, he's capable of beating Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, especially given how weak the Italian looked in the first week.
Obviously, Djokovic is no longer the tennis player of the past, the one who won 24 Grand Slams.
However, he's not very diminished. He still physically dominates most of his opponents, and mentally, he's remained a rock. He makes more mistakes and he's not as skilled, but, I repeat, he can win any Grand Slam he participates in.
He's very confident in his strengths, which is no surprise. He's always impressed with his incredible mental strength, giving him an edge over every opponent from the start.
Even now, at the end of his career, he intimidates his opponents, even though he's no longer unbeatable.
However, he's still not easy to beat, requiring excellent tennis and superhuman work to eliminate him in a best-of-five match.
Last season was very good for Djokovic because he reached at least the semifinals in all four Grand Slams. Obviously, trophies are preferred, but it seems to be a huge achievement to be so consistent at his current age.
The new season began with a final at the Australian Open, where in the semifinals, he passed Sinner. At Roland Garros, he lost in the third round to Joao Fonseca, an incredible match in which Djokovic led 2-0 in sets. He played excellently, sending over 70 winners, but he couldn't impose himself against an opponent two decades younger.
He feels extraordinary on grass, having seven trophies in this complex, so it's not surprising that he reached a quarterfinal here again.
He also became the men's tennis player with the most victories in this tournament.
Djokovic dropped sets against Yibing Wu, Arthur Rinderknech and Roman Safiullin, but he's the favorite again on Tuesday.
Auger-Aliassime vs Djokovic Predictions, Betting Analysis
Auger-Aliassime came here in poor form after failures on grass against Majchrzak and Tiafoe. However, in his first four matches at the All England Club, he looked very good and served ideally, losing only one break in a five-set match against Davidovich Fokina.
There were some problems — like sudden drops in rhythm — but, overall, Auger-Aliassime has seemed to be in very solid form.
I think he can win at least one set in this match.
Djokovic is a seven-time champion at Wimbledon and one of the greatest tennis players on grass in history.
Although he's a veteran, his rhythm hasn't diminished much, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he lifts the trophy again.
However, he's lost sets in three of his four matches played, he seemed nervous, and his serve in the match with Safiullin was well below his usual level.
Although he'll probably prevail in this one, it's likely that he'll spend a lot of time on the court.
I therefore believe that we'll have over 40.5 games in this match.
Pick: Over 40.5
