The two met in two grand slam finals, both won by the Swiss. But this time there doesn’t seem to be a match in favor of Djokovic

A duel, the one between Stan Wawrinka and Novak Djokovic, which evokes great memories for fans. It was the final of two slams, which also saw the victory of the Swiss in both cases, in Roland Garros in 2015 and at the US Open the following year. This time, however, the two face each other in the third round of Wimbledon, a tournament that the Serbian has already won seven times while his rival has reached the quarter-finals at most. Djokovic overtook Cachin (6-3 6-3 7-6) and Thompson (6-3 7-6 7-5), Wawrinka beat Ruusuvuori (7-5 ​​7-5 6-4) and Etcheverry (6-3 4-6 6-4 6-2).

THE PREDICTION

It certainly isn’t the rivalry it was a few years ago anymore. Djokovic is still at the top of the circuit, the same cannot be said of Wawrinka. However, this Wimbledon start shows that the Swiss could worry his opponent at least in the first part of the match. That’s why the Over 9.5 game in the opening set is intriguing: Betway offers it at 1.92 (Under at 1.79), Goldbet and Better keep it at 1.90 (Under at 1.77).

WAWRINKA-DJOKOVIC, THE ODDS

Once upon a time it would have been a much more balanced comparison, but today there is really no match for betting sites. Djokovic is the huge favourite, his victory is at most 1.03 with Goldbet and Better, while any incredible turnaround by Wawrinka reaches 15.00 with Snai. According to Sisal, the chance of both winning a set is 2.50, the opposite hypothesis is 1.47. As for the exact result in terms of sets, the most accredited outcomes are those in favor of the Serbian with Betway: 3-0 at 1.32, 3-1 at 3.63, 3-2 at 11.35; for the Swiss, very high figures are reached: 3-2 at 36.07, 3-1 at 53.50, 3-0 at 81.70. The threshold identified by the bookmakers for the number of games is 31.5: for Sisal the Under is 1.75, the Over is 1.95.
