Thompson vs Djokovic Prediction | Wimbledon Tips & Odds
Thompson vs Djokovic Recent Form
As preparation for Wimbledon, the Australian Thompson played several grass tournaments. Namely, he took part in Mallorca 250, London’s Queen’s Club Championships, Libema Open in Hertogenbosch, and Surbiton. Thompson won three of the last five games.
His best achievement and his brightest moment on grass this season is reaching the Hertogenbosch finals. Unfortunately, he lost to Tallon Grikespoor (7:6, 6:7, 3:6). But he has shown us he has the capacity to play on grass against top players.
On the other hand, talking about Novak’s form is superfluous. A decision not to play any grass tournaments before Wimbledon is troublesome for any player except Djokovic. Novak simply becomes a whole different beast when playing Grand Slams.
Coming into the third slam of the season after winning both the Australian Open and French Open is sure to inspire him. Not to mention his incredible achievement of remaining undefeated for 40 games in WImbledo’s Central Court.
Thompson vs Djokovic Head to Head
This will be the first time Thompson is playing Djokovic. Despite being in the underdog position, Thompson actually has one advantage. Novak is a tennis genius, but he needs just a little time to adapt, and Thompson could use this opportunity to surprise Novak with some new plays. Even still, it is a question of whether it will be enough to stop Djokovic this way.
Thompson vs Djokovic Tips
The odds available at the moment only confirm Novak’s superiority and align with our Thompson vs Djokovic prediction. The odds for Novak to win stand at 1.02. On the other hand, for Thompson to pull off the impossible, the odds are at 14.00.
The line for the games in the match is set at 29.5, with odds of 1.90 for both over and under. Djokovic would need to secure a break in each set to go under the line. At the same time, the odds for Novak to win in straight sets stand at 1.35.
Considering Novak’s adaptation period to the grass courts, a first serious contender could cause him trouble. Thompson is surely fired up after having the time to prepare. His 3:2 win over Nakashima in the first round is another great stimulus for the Australian.
