Novak Djokovic faces Tomas Berdych in the 2010 Wimbledon semifinals on Friday afternoon.
Neither of these players has reached the final of Wimbledon before, and Djokovic is the favourite to book his place in the Wimbledon final on Sunday.
Tomas Berdych vs. Novak Djokovic Trends Analysis
Tomas Berdych and Novak Djokovic have met twice in the past. Djokovic won both of these encounters, which both took place on hard courts. The Serb put away Berdych in two sets during their most recent meeting at the 2009 Miami Masters.
Berdych is not quite the same player as he was early in 2009 when he last played Djokovic. The young Czech has now reached his second consecutive semifinal, and claimed the rather large scalp of Roger Federer after cruising into the quarterfinals on the back of a series of ‘easy’ fixtures in the early rounds.
Berdych has a win rate of around 66% this season, and is yet to win an ATP Tour title in 2010.
After an awkward start to the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, Novak Djokovic has finally found some form and has lost just one set between the second round and semifinals.
The Serb has a win ratio of just under 66% and has claimed a single title in the 2010 Wimbledon Championships.
Tomas Berdych vs. Novak Djokovic Betting Tips
Djokovic is the 19/20 favourite to win this match at Betfair. Bookies are taking Berdych seriously after he eliminated Federer, and he’s not priced much longer than his counterpart at best odds of 21/20 at Boylesports.
The question we need to ask here is ‘how good is Berdych?’, while his win rate isn’t too impressive he has knocked out one of the greatest players in Wimbledon’s history. We’d say he may fall just short against a player he’s never beaten.
Our betting tip for this match is therefore to back Djokovic in the set betting markets to win the match 3-1 at odds of 7/2 at Paddy Power and to win the match 3-2 at odds of 9/2 at the same bookie.
