LORENZO MUSETTI VS NOVAK DJOKOVIC PREDICTION

Lorenzo Musetti had never previously gone beyond the third round of Wimbledon before, but he will be starting to dream of going all the way now that he’s reached the last four. The Italian outlasted Taylor Fritz in a pulsating quarter-final on Wednesday, taking the fifth and deciding set 6-1 to book a meeting with the man who has won this tournament on seven occasions.

It’s fair to say that this has been one of Novak Djokovic’s smoother routes to the semi-finals at the All England Club. The Serb has only faced one seed to date, that being Holger Rune in the round of 16, and received a bye in the quarter-finals due to his scheduled opponent Alex de Minaur pulling out through injury before a ball had even been hit.

Now 37 years of age, that forfeit win will have done wonders for Djokovic’s energy levels ahead of this semi-final, and he is the strong favourite to defeat Musetti for a second Grand Slam in a row after a five-set victory over the Italian at last month’s French open. Djokovic knows what it takes to get the job done at this stage of tournaments, and he is likely to take one step closer to a 25th Grand Slam title. For extra value, consider backing Djokovic to win in straight sets.

LORENZO MUSETTI VS NOVAK DJOKOVIC TIP: NOVAK DJOKOVIC TO WIN 3-0
