Prediction and betting tips

Novak Djokovic has played flawlessly in the 2023 Australian Open winning three out of four matches to nil. Also, he has a streak of 10 victories and has won 15 of the last 16 matches and two out of three H2H fixtures including the most recent game in the 2022 ATP Finals. Besides, Novak Djokovic won the 2023 ATP Adelaide before this tournament.

Andrey Rublev was eliminated in the first stages of the 2023 ATP Adelaide and the 2023 ATP Adelaide 2. He has played perfectly in the first three stages of the 2023 AO but was close to being eliminated by Holger Rune in the most recent fixture. He is likely to lose the match against Djokovic, but I believe that he will win a set.
