Novak Djokovic vs Roger Federer Betting Tips
Roger Federer lost a single set at Wimbledon so far, losing the opening one against countryman Stan Wawrinka, after dropping his serve only in that match. Except for that incident, the Swiss had no problem in causing the elimination of opponents in straight sets and was particularly dominant in the semifinal played against Raonic.
He needs to play at the same level and even better if he is to win the Wimbledon tournament once again, because Djokovic is much more than a powerful server. Granted he makes most of his points with the first serve, the Serbian player is well capable of returning the ball and can definitely go the distance.
So far, he didn't have to play long games but when his opponents pushed the match into a decisive 5th set, he rose to the occasion and emerged victorious. The fact that he is seven years younger than Federer could make the difference if the game will be decided in five sets.
Dropping the serve in this Wimbledon final will have devastating consequences for the one at fault, because both players can take advantage of an early break. None of them spent a lot of time on the field and had plenty of days to rest ahead of this game, so fatigue can be ruled out and the first couple of sets are expected to be played at an intense pace.
Key Facts
- In 35 head to head games, Federer won 18 times but his opponent can level the score this Sunday
- Federer played a single tiebreak at Wimbledon this year and won against Wawrinka while Djokovic played four and won half of them.
Novak Djokovic vs Roger Federer Betting Prediction
It is very difficult to go against the current in this match and back the underdog, despite Federer's remarkable performance at Wimbledon in 2014. On the other hand, the odds for the favorite to win are not big enough to cover the risk, therefore punters need to seek value as well. Since this match is most unlikely to be decided in three sets and the tiebreak shouldn't be ruled out, the best bet is the over 43.5 games to be played at even odds with BetVictor.
