Novak Djokovic's opening-round performance was far from convincing, as he needed four sets to get past underdog Yibing Wu. While the Serbian ultimately found a way through, there were enough lapses in his performance to suggest he is still searching for his best level.
However, Stefanos Tsitsipas is not in a position to fully capitalize on those vulnerabilities. The Greek has endured a difficult season, with his ranking slipping toward the edge of the top 100, and his confidence has been equally fragile. Given his current form, he is unlikely to consistently expose Djokovic's shortcomings over the course of a best-of-five-set match.
A Battle Between Elite Contenders
- Tsitsipas has a 3–1 record in Wimbledon second-round matches.
- He owns a 5–10 career record against Top 10 players at Grand Slams.
- Djokovic holds a 19–1 record in Wimbledon second-round matches.
- He has not lost to a player outside the Top 50 at a Grand Slam since 2018.
HTH - Novak Djokovic leads 12-3

Tsitsipas Secures Dominant Opening Victory
Stefanos Tsitsipas made an impressive start to his Wimbledon campaign with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Hugo Gaston. The Greek controlled the match from the opening set and secured his place in the second round without dropping a set.
Tsitsipas has struggled for consistency throughout the season and slipped outside the top 80 after a series of early exits. His best results came with a quarterfinal appearance in Doha, the fourth round in Madrid, and the third round in Miami.
Tsitsipas holds a 3-1 record in second-round matches at Wimbledon. His only defeat at this stage came against Emil Ruusuvuori in 2024, and he will be looking to reach the third round here for the first time since 2023.

Novak Djokovic Starts Strong at Wimbledon
Novak Djokovic began his Wimbledon campaign with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Wu Yibing. The seven-time champion was tested throughout the match but produced his best tennis in the key moments to book his place in the second round.
Djokovic has struggled to build momentum since reaching the Australian Open final and has also dealt with fitness issues. He reached the fourth round at Indian Wells before suffering early exits in Rome and at Roland Garros, arriving at Wimbledon still searching for his first title of the season.
Djokovic holds a 19-1 record in second-round matches at Wimbledon. His only defeat at this stage came against Marat Safin in 2008.

Verdict
Even if Djokovic falls short of his highest level once again, he should still have enough quality and experience to progress. Backing Djokovic to cover the -5.5 games handicap and Djokovic to win in four sets are the selections that best fit this matchup.
