Novak Djokovic vs. Diego Schwartzman 11/16/20 - ATP World Tour Finals Men Singles Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 11/14/2020 at 10:18 PM ET
Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic is set to play at the 2020 ATP Finals at the O2 Arena in London. Djokovic will begin his tournament against Diego Schwartzman from Argentina.
Diego Schwartzman has been in supreme form since the restart of the 2020 ATP season and has made big runs at tournaments such as the French Open, Paris Masters, and Italian Open. Schwartzman made the final of the Italian Open and the semifinals of the French Open. This has been a breakout season for Diego Schwartzman as he has managed to defeat elite players like Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem. That being said, Diego Schwartzman is strongest on clay and it is going to be challenging for the Argentine player to compete against the elite pack on hard courts.
On the other side of the court, Novak Djokovic will hope to finish the season with great strength. The 2020 season started very strongly for Novak Djokovic as he won big tournaments like the Australian Open but since his disqualification at the US Open, things have gone downhill slightly for the Serbian superstar. That being said, Djokovic still made the final of the French Open but it will be important for the Serbian superstar that he has a strong ATP Finals campaign to finish the season. Novak Djokovic has won the ATP Finals 5 times in the past and that should place him in a good position as he enters this tournament.
Novak Djokovic and Diego Schwartzman have played each other 5 times in the past with Djokovic winning on all 5 occasions. The most recent match between these two players was earlier in the season at the Italian Open where Novak Djokovic won in straight sets.
With everything taken into consideration, I am going to pick Novak Djokovic to win this match. Djokovic is the stronger player and has an outstanding record against Schwartzman. I see Djokovic winning in straight sets.
