Novak Djokovic v Tatsuma Ito Head to Head
Seven-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic continues his quest for another title against Japan’s Tatsuma Ito. The players have never met on the tour.
Djokovic Looking To Better His Opener In Search of Title Number Eight
Defending champion Novak Djokovic arrived in Melbourne holding a record seven Australian Open titles and began as a favorite for title number eight.
After a less than ideal end to 2019, where he missed out on the world number ranking to Rafael Nadal, the 2020 season got off to a perfect start for Djokovic, who led Serbia to victory at the inaugural ATP Cup last week.
Winning all his singles matches in the group stages comfortably, the Serb was challenged in the quarter-finals and semi-finals by Next Gen stars Denis Shapovalov and Daniil Medvedev.
Pitted against Nadal in the final for the 55th version of this rivalry, Djokovic was in splendid form winning in straight sets, in what felt like a repeat of the 2019 Australian Open final.
The world number two hoping to carry this form into the Australian Open, had a challenging opener against German Jan-Lennard Struff. Djokovic was up two sets to love but then lost the third set 2-6. However, he came back strong to wrap up in four sets.
Can The Relatively Unknown Japanese Challenge Djokovic?
Japan’s Tatsuma Ito has been on the tour for more than a decade. Having had a successful career at the Challengers, he was once ranked number 60 in the ATP rankings, in 2012.
The 31-year-old has however not had the most successful of careers on the ATP circuit and is currently ranked just within the top 200 in the world.
Ito was off to a good start here in Melbourne defeating India’s Prajnesh Gunneswaran in straight sets, but the challenge will be considerably different against Djokovic.
Novak Djokovic v Tatsuma Ito Struff Predictions & Tips
Despite the straight sets win in his opener, Ito will have his hands full against the defending champion from Serbia. Expect this to be relatively straightforward win for Djokovic.
