Sinner vs Djokovic Prediction & Pick

Not only did Djokovic's win over Rublev clinch his 12th Wimbledon semifinals appearance, but it also secured his 46th career Grand Slam semifinals appearance. That mark is tied with Roger Federer for the most all-time. The Serbian pro has won a ridiculous 33 straight matches at Wimbledon as well.

There is no way I am going against Djokovic here. Not only does he have history on his side, but he knows what it takes to beat Sinner. These two met in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2022 and Djokovic came back from a 2-0 set deficit by winning the last three sets in dominating fashion.

Djokovic is 118-19 all-time on grass courts for a reason and he will show that on Friday morning.

Winner: Novak Djokovic

Sinner vs Djokovic Best Bet

Backing Djokovic to win in four sets at +240 odds is a great option, but I'll play it safe and back at least four sets to be needed to decide a victor. After all, both Sinner and Djokovic were pushed to a fourth set in their respective quarterfinals matchups. It took five sets for a winner to come forth when these two met in London last year, too. Sinner has enough momentum to give Djokovic a run for his money.

Bet: Over 3.5 Total Sets (-138)
