Novak Djokovic will face Wu Yibing in the first round of the 2026 Wimbledon Open, aiming to destroy an 8.5-game handicap (+135) in the alternative spread market.
Current Form:
7-time Wimbledon Open champion Novak Djokovic begins his hunt for the elusive 25th Grand Slam title on Monday as he takes on Wu Yibing of China in the first round at W19. Once again, Djokovic decided to forego the traditional route of competing in warm-up grass-court tournaments and plunge into action at the grass-court Grand Slam right away. Djokovic boasts a 129-22 record or an 85.4 percent win rate on grass.
Wu has spent the last three weeks competing in low-tier grass-court events. The Chinese opened his grass-court season with a 3-6, 6-2, 4-6 loss to Dutch teenager Thijs Boogaard at the Libema Open. He picked up his lone win during this grass-court season against Rei Sakamoto 7-5, 6-1 at Nottingham Challenger before losing two more matches on grass against Remy Bertola 3-6, 3-6 and Jan Choinski 6-7, 4-6 at Eastbourne.

Our Yibing Wu vs Novak Djokovic Prediction
Novak Djokovic will annihilate Wu Yibing in straight sets 6-3, 6-1, 6-3
Djokovic is coming into the tournament with one goal: to win a record-tying 8th title at Wimbledon Open.
With Carlos Alcaraz still out with a wrist injury and Jannik Sinner looking to reestablish his dominance after a shocking second-round exit at Roland Garros, Djokovic stands with a decent chance of going all the way for a record 25th Grand Slam title.
As for Yibing, a match with a player widely considered as the greatest tennis player of all time is already a win-win situation for the Chinese, who has two wins in 9 career matches on grass.
Moreover, Yibing will be playing a top-10 caliber player for the first time in two years. His lack of exposure to elite-level competition makes him ill-prepared for what’s coming for him in his match against Djokovic.
Djokovic will easily cruise to a blowout win, destroying the -7.5-game handicap. As a matter of fact, Djokovic would be a more palatable pick at +135 to cover an 8.5-game handicap in the alternative game spread market.
