Novak Djokovic vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry Match prediction, head-to-head, preview, and live stream | Italian Open

World No.1 Novak Djokovic is all set to make his comeback to the court when he will face Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the Italian Open.

Novak Djokovic vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry: After opting out of the season’s first clay 1000 tournament, Madrid Open, World No.1 Novak Djokovic is all set to make his comeback to the court when he will face Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry on Friday (May 12) in the second round of 2024 Italian open.

This will be Novak Djokovic’s third clay tournament of this year. The 35-year-old Serb entered the Italian Open after a quarterfinal loss to fellow Serb Dusan Lajovic in Banja Luka. He has lifted two trophies this year, at the Adelaide International 1 and the Australian Open Grand Slam. He missed playing the first two 1000 Masters tournaments of the year in the US, the Indian Wells Masters and Miami Open, due to his vaccination status.

Etcheverry on the other hand, defeated Luca Van Assche in the previous round. Prior to the Italian Open, the 23-year-old played in the Challenger Aix-en Provence where he was knocked out of the Round of 16 by Jurji Rodionov. He has reached two finals this season, the Chile Open where he lost to Nicolas Jarry and then at the ATP Houston but lost to Frances Tiafoe.

Novak Djokovic vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry prediction

Though Djokovic will enter the match as a favorite to win, his elbow niggle can hinder him from going all blazing. He has almost every tennis skill, not to forget years of experience. An all-court player, the 35-year-old has dominated in clay tournaments and outshone his opponents but so far in this season, everything has not worked out well for the World No.1. on the red dirt. Etcheverry can stun the Serb but it will be a difficult task for the youngster to go past the 22-time Grand Slam champion.

Prediction: Djojovic in three sets.
