Novak Djokovic vs Casper Ruud Prediction
Novak Djokovic has yet to win a title in 2024 and is facing a real challenge on his way to the 25th Grand Slam crown. The competition is tough, but more importantly, Djokovic is far from his 100%. He barely survived the last match, and it is a huge question if he would be able to recover 48 hours after the last match. Ruud is on top of his game, and he managed to beat Djokovic earlier this season. Ruud has made it to the final at Roland Garros twice before, which proves that he can play well on this court. However, Djokovic always finds a way to be competitive, and he can beat anybody as long as he can stay on his feet. This will definitely be another match to remember and a long fight that will go over 38.5 games in total. If you really want to bet on the winner, we are going with Djokovic to leave everything on the court once again and move on to the semifinal.
