Laslo Djere vs Novak Djokovic Prediction: Djere is in great shape

In the US Open Laslo Djere, the 38th ranked player in the world, will meet Novak Djokovic, the second number of the world ranking. It is important to note that Laslo and Novak are compatriots, but they have met only once on the Tour, in the Serbian capital in April 2022, and that match was won in three games by Novak, who is listed as a very big favorite in the pairing.

Laslo Djere

Laslo Djere's results at the tournament in New York are somewhat surprising. So far, the Serb has two wins in two games and has not lost a single set. Djere knocked out American Nakashima and Frenchman Gaston. The match against Brandon lasted two hours and 22 minutes, while the Balkan passed Hugo in just an hour and 35 minutes, losing only six games. It is obvious that Djere is in top form and will do his best to fight the world number two, as he did in Belgrade in April 2022.

Novak Djokovic

Djokovic has a 7-match winning streak, and before the start of the US Open, Djokovic won the Cincinnati Masters, beating world number one Alcaraz of Spain in three games in the final. Novak is in good form, being the favorite to start the Majors. Djokovic has two wins in New York in three sets over Muller and Zapata Miralles. Zapata Miralles managed to win only six games against Novak, just as Gaston did against Djere.

Expert Betting Tips

We don't think Djokovic should expect an easy life in the third round. Djere is in great shape and has experienced quite a successful fight with Novak. In April 2022, Novak Djokovic beat Laslo Djere only thanks to two tie-breaks. We expect Laslo to give a fight to the world number two and his compatriot in Saturday's match. As he did in April, we wouldn't be surprised if Djere manages to beat Novak by one game.
