Novak Djokovic vs Luca Van Assche Prediction: Novak Will Perform Better

Prediction for the ATP Banja Luka Novak Djokovic vs Luca Van Assche game which will take place on April 19th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Banja Luka tournament is the first in history, and Novak Djokovic is the main favorite of the tournament. Andrei Rublev, who won the Monte Carlo Masters last week, is considered the second. We can see their game in the final of this competition. It will be the third game on clay for Djokovic this season. Before that, we saw the first racket of the world at a tournament in Monaco, which was unsuccessful for him. In the second round, Novak beat Gakhov with difficulty with a tie-break in the first game. In the third round, he completely lost to Musetti in three sets. Let's see if the Balkan can start the tournament in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a confident victory.

Luca Van Assche is a rare guest in our predictions. At the same time, the Banja Luka tournament for Van Assche is already the fourth since the end of March. Challenger in San Remo, he won, beating Varillas in two games in the final. Then he played two matches in Estoril, where he lost to Davidovich Fokina, and two in Monaco, where he lost to Gakhov, whom Djokovic beat. In Banja Luka, Van Assche was stronger than the Swiss Wawrinka. Luca won in three games with a score of 1:6, 7:6, and 6:4 in two hours and 44 minutes. During the match, Van Assche never served outright with five double faults and won 63% of the points on the first serve and 52% on the second. Return statistics: 25%/51%.

The Monte Carlo tournament was unsuccessful for Djokovic, but it does not mean that the world's first racket will fail the Bosnia and Herzegovina competition. On the contrary, Novak will perform better in Banja Luka than in Monaco and start the tournament with a confident victory over the Frenchman. Luca has practiced playing on the clay and the local courts, but we doubt this will help him in the upcoming game.
