Last Updated: 07/10/2021 at 1:13 AM ET
Novak Djokovic has made it into the final at Wimbledon. At this stage of the tournament, Djokovic is set to play against Matteo Berrettini from Italy.
Matteo Berrettini enters this match having defeated his previous opponent in 4 sets. It was a relatively comfortable win for Matteo Berrettini as he controlled the majority of the match and although he lost the 3rd set, he looked to be in control throughout the contest. This has been a huge tournament for Matteo Berrettini as this is the first time he has made the final at a Grand Slam event. The draw has been kind to Berrettini but the Italian superstar has also shown great skill to ensure he wins all of his matches. This is expected to be a much tougher test for Matteo Berrettini as he is playing against the number 1 seed in Novak Djokovic.
On the other side of the coin, Novak Djokovic has continued his outstanding form by defeating Denis Shapovalov in straight sets. Djokovic has been dominant throughout the season and enters this tournament final having already won the Australian Open and the French Open this season. This has been one of the easiest runs to the final for Novak Djokovic and the Serbian enters this match having won all of his matches in straight sets. Djokovic is looking dominant and will be tough to stop in this match.
Matteo Berrettini and Novak Djokovic have played each other twice in the past with Djokovic winning on both occasions. The most recent match between these two players was earlier in the season at the French Open where Djokovic won in 4 sets.
Taking everything into consideration, I am going to pick Novak Djokovic to win this match. Djokovic is the stronger player and he has the experience of winning at big tournaments. I see Matteo Berrettini causing some issues for the Serbian but Djokovic should be good enough to win this match in 4 sets.
