Novak Djokovic vs Nick Kyrgios | Wimbledon Final

Novak Djokovic vs Nick Kyrgios | Wimbledon final match and betting preview 

Unfortunately for tennis fans, Rafael Nadal’s untimely withdrawal from the Wimbledon semifinals meant that the dream Djokovic- Nadal final they all wanted to see did not materialize.  

While it’s always sad to see a legend exit a tournament that way, we still have a smashing final tomorrow to look forward to between the tournament favorite, Djokovic, and tennis bad boy, Nick Kyrgios. 

The Australian was once widely seen as a successor to the ‘big three’ of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer but it hasn’t exactly turned out that way for him. He will still be a dangerous opponent for Djokovic, however. He is well-rested and will be a dangerous opponent for the older Djokovic. 

Djokovic, on the other hand, will be eager to win this final and make it 21 Grand Slam singles wins, reducing Nadal’s Grand Slam lead to just one.
