Novak Djokovic Favorite Over Juan Martin del Potro
By Harry Floyd
Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic enters the finals at the 2018 US Open. He has a slight edge over opponent Juan Martin del Potro.
Novak Djokovic is on the verge of making history… again. While Juan Martin del Potro is one of the best on the 2018 ATP World Tour and in all of men’s singles tennis, Nole must be considered the favorite in their upcoming US Open finals meeting. Djokovic is fresh off of what might have been his greatest Wimbledon title to date.
So far Flushing Meadows, both Djokovic and Del Potro have been unstoppable.
Looking at their career head-to-head, Nole has the edge though. He is 14-4 in ATP singles matches against the Argentine tennis great. Delpo is a former champion in men’s singles at the US Open, but Djokovic is too. Nole has two titles at the major tournament compared to Del Potro’s one in 2009. They face off on Sunday in New York.
Novak Djokovic has dropped just one set throughout his time so far at the US Open. He goes up against the red hot Juan Martin del Potro. Nole, however, has the edge.
Del Potro too has dropped just a single set at the US Open. That came at the hands of American John Isner, but Delpo would ultimately cruise to a victory over Isner. In his semifinals match, the Argentine took down Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal. The current French Open champion retired after the second set. Nole defeats Japanese star Kei Nishikori in his semifinals match. The finals is sure to be one for the ages. Despite the ATP World Tour seeing several rising stars in men’s singles tennis as of late, Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro represent a generation of veteran legends. They continue to dominate the tour and remain the players to beat. Check back for updates on all of the concluding action at the 2018 US Open.
