Novak Djokovic vs Tomas Machac Prediction

Machac is playing great tennis this tournament and looks comfortable with his serve. Machac should also be confident after giving Djokovic a run in their previous meeting. However, Djokovic is just tough to bet against once he gets to the business end of the tournament. Machac also doesn’t have a large enough sample size in these moments. Not only deep runs on the ATP tour but also against high quality players. Djokovic has a long history of bullying opponents in spots like this.

Give me Djokovic in straight sets to shave down the potential juice.
