Novak Djokovic: Team form, news and statistics

Novak Djokovic is a 33-year-old Serb, ranked 1st in the ATP.
And Djokovic is one of the best athletes in history, with 17 grand slam titles, 35 Masters, being number 1 in the world for 280 weeks. But at the moment Novak is in the forefront for another reason, he along with about 30 other players yesterday launched PTPA, Professional Tennis Players Association, a move criticized by Nadal, Federer, ATP, WTA or ITF. It is not clear what Novak wants, PTPA being able to compete with ATP and create a new circuit in the future.
In addition, it is not known how ATP will react, some rumors saying that Novak could be suspended from the professional circuit.
In 2019 he has semifinals in Doha, Australian Open title, Monte Carlo quarterfinals, Madrid title, Rome final, Roland Garros semifinals, Wimbledon title, Cincinnati semifinals, Tokyo title, Shanghai quarterfinals and title in Paris.
And in 2020 he has a title at the Australian Open, a title in Dubai and a title in Cincinnati, last week.
Practically Novak has not lost any match this season, thus being a big favorite to win the US Open.

Damir Dzumhur: Team form, news and statistics

Damir Dzumhur is a 28-year-old Bosnian, ranked 107th in the ATP.
And Dzumhur was even higher, up to 23rd in the world, he is currently going through a weak period.
Thus Damir came out of the first hundredth of the world and here at the US Open he has no chance to take at least one set in the inaugural match.
In 2019 he has the quarterfinals in Rotterdam, the quarterfinals in Geneva, the quarterfinals in Antalya, the quarterfinals in the Aptos challenger, the semifinals in the New Haven challenger, the quarterfinals in Zhuhai and the final in the Bratislava challenger.
And in 2020 he has the quarterfinals for the challenger from Bendigo.
Dzumhur also took part in the Cincinnati ATP tournament, but there he lost quite clearly with Novak, 7-5 1-6 4-6, in the qualifiers.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Novak Djokovic vs Damir Dzumhur

Novak Djokovic has not lost a game this year, comes after the title in Cincinnati and will probably win the US Open.
However, Djokovic has an injury in the cervical area that it is not known if he passed, currently being in the center of a scandal with ATP, he and about 30 other players launching a new association, PTPA, which will possibly compete with ATP.
As a double he was bad in Cincinnati, having 7 with Berankis, 4 with Sandgren, 3 with Struff, 7 with Agut and 5 with Raonic, so each time over the line set here.
Damir Dzumhur has no chance here, but I think a set can stay close to Novak, that is, take 3-4 games.
Thus, I consider that Djokovic will make more than 2.5 double mistakes, my prognosis going on this idea at a rate offered by Betano.
