Novak Djokovic v Laslo Djere Head to Head
Their only previous meeting came at the 2022 Belgrade Open where Djokovic had needed three sets, two of which were tie-breakers, to make it through to the quarterfinals.

Djokovic Easy Winner Over Zapata Miralles
Djokovic extended his winning run to seven matches as he eased past Bernabe Zapata Miralles in straight sets in his second round.
Following on from a Cincinnati Masters triumph two weeks ago, Djokovic had earlier routed Alexandre Muller in his opener and in a result not so different from that first round encounter, Djokovic dropped just six games in his win.
In a match lasting a tick over two hours, Djokovic saved all of the six break-points he faced before coming through 6-4, 6-1, 6-1.
While both players had 22 unforced errors to their names, Djokovic’s 35 winners helped him outscore Zapata Miralles’ 15 and that’s where the match tilted in his favour.
There will be no stopping the 23-time Grand Slam in his third round either by the looks of things as he starts off a 1/100 favourite to win this with bet365.

Djere in Successive Straight-Set Wins
In seven previous editions of the US Open, Djere had won just one main draw match.
This time around he has already clinched two victories and in doing so reached the third round of the US Open, following on from having done exactly that at Wimbledon earlier this year too.
More known for his performances on clay – with a fourth round appearance at the Italian Masters and a final in Hamburg to boot – Djere has taken that step forward by winning a couple of rounds here in a hardcourt tournament. In a best-of-five competition, no less.
Coming into the US Open with a quarterfinal appearance at the Winston-Salem Open, Djere had shocked the 2/5 favourite (bet365) Brandon Nakashima in the first round. In the second, he dropped a mere six games in defeating Hugo Gaston.
And while he knows he would be up against it when he takes on his fellow countryman, he could pose a bit of a threat as he looks to push the world number two to a fourth set.
Djokovic v Djere Prediction and Tip
Djokovic is a favourite to win in three and while he might still do that, we think this could be a bit tighter than his previous two wins making the games handicap a good market here.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Games Handicap Djere +9.5: 5/6 (with bet365)
