Prediction
Stan Wawrinka and Novak Djokovic are set to meet tomorrow at the third round of the tournament in Rome. Wawrinka has won back to back matches for the first time since January 2021 to meet Novak Djokovic for the 28th time.
Djokovic has won 21 matches against familiar face Wawrinka in their 27 encountered and has lost six times. That’s huge! On clay, the No. 1 ATP player has won five matches against Wawrinka’s two.
Meanwhile, this season, the Serb’s win-loss record is 8-2 and Wawrinka is 2-2. On clay, the Serbian is 6-3 while Stan is 2-2.
The pick of the match is Novak Djokovic. The player entered the match as a heavy favourite and the top-ranked player has a lot of experience in how to handle Stan on different surfaces. The player from Serbia is already back in his form amd is gaining his actual potential ahead of the Roland Garros tournament. It will be hard for Wawrinka who is still struggling with a form to tackle Novak’s strong serves.
