Our Novak Djokovic vs Rinky Hijikata Prediction
Key Stats: Rinky Hijikata has only created two break points and converted none in two head-to-head matches against Novak Djokovic.
Betting Analysis: Back Djokovic to win in straight sets against Hijikata. The former world No.1 proved in his win over Vacherot that he still has enough gas left in the tank to take down physically superior opponents. Hijikata isn’t a power player like Vacherot, which makes the task easier for Djokovic.
Fearless Forecast: Novak Djokovic wins 6-4, 6-4
Our betting prediction for Novak Djokovic vs. Rinky Hijikata: Novak Djokovic 2-0 sets
