Djokovic vs Fucsovics Prediction

Novak Djokovic started his 2023 French Open campaign with a comfortable 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 win against American Aleksandar Kovacevic. He had a slight wobble towards the end, getting broken while serving for the match at 5-4 up, but quickly regained his focus to see the match out in straight sets in the tiebreak. It was Djokovic’s 86^th win at Roland Garros the second-most in Paris behind Rafael Nadal’s 112 wins. Marton Fucsovics, meanwhile, got through his match against French wild card Hugo Grenier in four sets. Fucsovics played at a high level against the dangerous Grenier who recently picked up some notable wins on the Madrid clay. The Hungarian made his experience in a best-of-five set match count, tallying 47 winners to Grenier’s 27. Djokovic should easily make it five wins from five against Fucsovics. Even though the Hungarian has managed to push Djokovic in three of those four meetings in the h2h, he just doesn’t have the weaponry to break down the Serb’s bulletproof defense. Aside from that, Djokovic was hitting pretty clean in his opening round and served impressively throughout.
