Djokovic v Tsitsipas betting tips: Nadal conqueror the clear favourite

Preview and odds for the French Open men’s final

Novak Djokovic has the chance to move to within one of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s record of 20 men’s grand slam singles titles when he faces Stefanos Tsitsipas in the French Open final on Sunday.

The Serb produced one of the performances of his life to dethrone Nadal in the semi-final at Roland Garros.

While Djokovic will be appearing in his 28th grand slam final, his opponent Stefanos Tsitsipas will be featuring at this stage for the first time.

Here we assess both players’ chances in Sunday’s final and some potential Djokovic v Tsitsipas betting tips.

Route to the final

Djokovic’s magnificent display against Nadal answered any questions about the world number one’s form after he was taken to five sets by world number 76 Lorenzo Musetti and made to work hard to see off Matteo Berrettini.

As a result Djokovic has been installed as 3/10 favourite to lift a 19th grand slam title and second at Roland Garros.

Spanish great Nadal went into the semi-final having won 105 of his previous 107 matches on the Parisian clay, losing only to Robin Soderling in the French Open fourth round in 2009 and Djokovic in the last eight six years ago.

He had won all 13 of his previous semi-finals but, in a 58th match between the pair that for three sets maybe surpassed any that came before, Djokovic found the answers to the greatest challenge in sport to win 3-6 6-3 7-6 (4) 6-2.

Tsitsipas, who is 5/2 to win a first grand slam, had been in imperious form over the last fortnight and that looked set to continue when he raced into a two-set lead against Alexander Zverev in their semi-final.
