Novak Djokovic vs Matthew Ebden Prediction: No competition here

Novak Djokovic and Matthew Ebden are scheduled to face off in the Olympics round of 64. The world number 2 best player Novak Djokovic hopes to add another title to his collection and his journey to the Olympics title starts here against Matthew Ebden ranked in 970th. This match will be the very first meeting between both players. 

Novak Djokovic remains one of the major contenders to win pretty much any tournament he enters into and the Paris Olympics is no different. Currently ranked in 2nd place, Novak Djokovic hopes to win his first Olympics title in his entire career. His best performance remains the bronze medal he won back in 2008.

In the 2021 edition, he made it to the semi finals, but he lost to current holder Alexander Zverev in 3 sets. He also lost the 3rd place medal to Pablo Carreno Busta.

Matthew Ebden enters into the France Olympics tournament with a difficult fixture to start with as he prepares to take on Novak Djokovic in the round of 64. Matthew Ebden is ranked in 970th place while Novak Djokovic is ranked 2nd on the ATP ranking. The Australian player will be competing in the Olympics for the first time but he's established himself in the Grand Slam tournaments, winning 2 doubles and 1 mixed doubles titles, making a total of 11 career doubles titles. However, Matthew Ebden is yet to win an official singles title.

Beyond doubt, Novak Djokovic is pretty much an overwhelming favorite against Matthew Ebden in any match. He is not only one of the most decorated players but also more experienced and consistent than Ebden, especially in singles matches. Novak Djokovic's return game and baseline consistency should hand him an easy win against Matthew Ebden here.
