Prediction and betting tips

Tommy Paul is much weaker than Novak Djokovic. He was lucky to get to the semi-final, but it will likely be his last match in the 2023 Australian Open. He had to lose the game against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina but was lucky to come back in the last two sets. Overall, he has not met any strong rivals in this tournament and has lost five of the last eight played matches against rivals from the top 20 ATP.

Novak Djokovic is incredible. He did not leave Rublev any chance in the most recent game and beat most of his rivals to nil. Also, he has a streak of 12 victories and is likely to extend it with one more. I believe that he will beat Paul with a 3-0 score.
