Pre-match buzz
The win against Sandgren meant Djokovic extended his winning streak to 20-0 in 2020. On the other hand, Struff had a decent start as he won two of his three matches at the ATP Cup inaugurals but lost in the first round of the Australian Open. He's won three matches in Cincinnati and will be keen on giving Djokovic a fight.
The current prediction is for Djokovic to win it in two. 7-6 6-4 against Berankis and 6-2 6-4 against Sandgren shows that Djokovic is in top form and he will be waiting to get this win under his belt. With the US Open looming, safe to say, Djokovic has had great preparation.
Who will win?
Quite clearly, the Serb is the one favored to seal this win and despite Struff's talent, it might not be enough once Djokovic gets going.
