Novak Djokovic vs. Damir Dzumhur 8/31/20 - US Open Men Singles Picks & Predictions

Last Updated: 08/29/2020 at 9:40 PM ET

Serbian tennis superstar Novak Djokovic is set to play the 2020 ATP US Open at Flushing Meadows in New York. Djokovic will begin his tournament against Damir Džumhur from Bosnia. 

Damir Džumhur last played at the Cincinnati Masters where he was eliminated in the opening round by Dennis Novak. Damir Džumhur won the opening set but was poor in the final two sets which resulted in the defeat. Like most players, Damir Džumhur has lacked court time and playing a big tournament like the US Open with little match practise is a tough task. This is expected to be an especially tough tournament for Damir Džumhur as he is playing against the top seed in the opening round. 

On the other side of the coin, Novak Djokovic enters this tournament in outstanding touch. Djokovic last played at the Cincinnati Masters where he won the tournament while displaying great dominance. It has been an outstanding season for Novak Djokovic as he remains undefeated in 2020. Djokovic has won the Australian Open, Cincinnati Masters and Dubai Tennis Championship in 2020. Novak Djokovic has won the US Open 3 times in the past and will be hoping to win his 18th Grand Slam title at this tournament. 

Novak Djokovic and Damir Džumhur have played each other twice in the past with Djokovic winning on both occasions. The most recent match between these two players was in 2019 at Doha where Novak Djokovic won in straight sets. Damir Džumhur is yet to win a set against Djokovic

Looking at all the information, I see Novak Djokovic winning this match. Djokovic has been an elite player all season and he is playing at a level above the rest of the pack. There is a huge gap in skill between the two players so I am going to predict that Novak Djokovic wins this match in straight sets.
