Djokovic vs Thompson Head-to-Head

Novak Djokovic and Jordan Thompson have never met before on the ATP Tour. Thompson doesn’t have a game suited to trouble Djokovic, lacking serious weapons to be able to somehow play aggressively enough to manage an upset, so I heavily favor Djokovic not just as the clear favorite, but in this matchup.

Djokovic vs Thompson Prediction

Novak Djokovic broke another record with his first-round victory over Pedro Cachin, passing Roger Federer to win his 66th consecutive first-round match at grand slam level. Jordan Thompson had a victory of his own, coming from two sets to love down to advance (defeated Brandon Nakashima) to a meeting against the second seed. Djokovic is the heavy, heavy favorite to win this match, so Thompson will have to hope for nothing short of an injury for the Serb, or else I fully expect to see Djokovic contest yet another third round at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. Back the four-time defending champion to close this one in straight sets.
