Djokovic vs Fucsovics Prediction & Pick

Going up against Djokovic hasn't exactly worked out for Fucsovics in the past. The two-time French Open winner has won all four of the previous head-to-head matchups between these upcoming foes. Although this is their first Roland Garros meeting, they've faced off at two previous major events (Wimbledon 2021, 2018 U.S. Open), resulting in Djokovic winning six sets to Fucsovics' one.

This tilt is also their first clay-based matchup, which benefits Djokovic. "Joker" is an impressive 64-14 on clay since the start of 2019, whereas Fucsovics is 27-26 during that span. Considering how he's only lost three sets to the Hungarian in four previous matchups, I like Djokovic's chances of advancing.

Winner: Novak Djokovic

Djokovic vs Fucsovics Best Bet

Even though I fully expect Djokovic to dominate in this matchup, I won't be surprised if Fucsovics takes one set. After all, Fucsovics has won one set in three of their previous four matchups, including their most recent clash less than two years ago. The positive value that comes with a Djokovic four-set win is also more appealing than a straight victory.

Bet: Novak Djokovic to Win in Four Sets (+280)
