Wimbledon 2021: Novak Djokovic vs. Jack Draper 6/28/21 Tennis Prediction

World number one Novak Djokovic will face unseeded British teen Jack Draper in the First Round of the 2021 Wimbledon Championships. The match is scheduled to be played on Monday June 28th, 2021 at 8:30am EST.

Novak Djokovic is the number one seed here at Wimbledon and he will face Britain’s hottest tennis sensation Jack Draper in the First Round. Djokovic is attempting to equal Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on 20 Grand Slam titles and he will be highly motivated to win here. Can the 19 year old Draper cause get the win here at home and cause one of the biggest upsets in tennis history?

The Serbian star Novak Djokovic has been having an outstanding season again in 2021, winning two Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and Roland Garros, and he will seek to add yet another Wimbledon title to his collection. He already has five titles here at the All-England Club and is the big title favorite here, with the withdrawal of Rafael Nadal improving his chances even more. His outstanding all around game and tactical awareness make him the favorite in almost every match that he plays regardless of the surface, and Jack Draper is not expected to out up much resistance. While his opponent is very talented and is certainly one for the future, playing against a tennis legend on one of the most famous courts in the world is bound to be overwhelming for the young Brit.

Jack Draper is a fast rising teen player who has made some waves last week at Queen’s by reaching the Quarter-Finals. The youngster defeated Jannik Sinner and Alexander Bublik there, proving that he is an immense talent and is certainly one to watch. While he has looked extremely promising, he is faced with the task of playing against the best player in the world, and he is the massive underdog here. Draper will have lots of support from his home fans and will be delighted at the opportunity to play on the famous Centre Court, but his stay at Wimbledon is very likely to be short-lived.

This is the first meeting between the players, and this will result in a straightforward win for Novak Djokovic. Simply put, he is a much better player than his opponent and he absolutely is not going to lose in the First Round to an inexperienced teenager. Jack Draper is very talented and I have no doubt that he will do big things in the future, but he is going to lose here, with the Serbian star advancing to the Second Round at Wimbledon.
