Novak Djokovic vs Lorenzo Musetti preview

Novak Djokovic will face Lorenzo Musetti in the Hellenic Championships final on Saturday.

Djokovic is still going strong at the age of 38. Apart from semifinal runs at all four Majors, he clinched the title in Geneva and secured a runner-up finish in Miami. The Serb also participated in the Shanghai Masters, but lost to Valentin Vacherot in the last four.

Djokovic started his campaign in Athens by cruising past Alejandro Tabilo and Nuno Borges in the initial few rounds. He then eliminated Yannick Hanfmann in the semifinal, 6-3, 6-4. The top seed will be eager to win the Hellenic Championships this year.

Apart from semifinal runs in Madrid, Paris and Rome and Vienna, he also secured a runner-up finish in Chengdu and reached the last 16 in Shanghai. Despite a spirited performance against Felix Auger-Aliassime, the Canadian defeated him in straight sets.

Musetti started his campaign with hard-fought wins over Stan Wawrinka and Alexandre Muller in the initial few rounds. He then eliminated Sebastian Korda in the semifinals, 6-0, 5-7, 7-5. Musetti is through to his third final on tour.

Djokovic has a great chance to win his second title this year. The Serb is also among the participants at the ATP Finals and will be delighted with his current form on tour.

Meanwhile, Musetti has already lost two finals this season. The Italian has been resilient in Athens so far and needs to keep his calm for one more match to win the title.

Both players like to play a patient brand of tennis. It'll be interesting to see if Musetti can capitalise on his chances and rattle the Serb in the final. Considering the Italian's ordinary head-to-head record against Djokovic, he will still be a second favourite to win this round.

Pick: Djokovic to win in three sets.
