Sportskeeda

Expert Pick
Amarjeet Nayak Rafael Nadal

Although Djokovic is the favorite to win the 2019 Australian Open crown, Nayak isn’t backing down from his prediction that it’s going to be Nadal who’s coming back to his country with the bigger smile between the two tennis superstars. Nayak is all praises of Nadal’s rejuvenated aura. A big reason for that, as Nayak point out, is Nadal’s modified ‘serve and aggressive game.’ That’s clearly the case in Nadal’s semifinals’ win over Stefanos Tsitsipas

in over Stefanos Tsitsipas, whom the world No. 2 demolished to the tune of a 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 score. Nayak also said that if there’s one player who could take down Djokovic, it’s Nadal.


Sports Illustrated

Like Sportskeeda’s Nayak, Sports Illustrated’s Jon Wertheim believe that Nadal is going to win his second Australian Open title this year. Wertheim notes that Nadal is not being slowed down this time by any injury, so he’ll have the full potential of his 32-year-old body in the upcoming clash with Djokovic. Nadal’s strong service game also caught the attention of Wertheim, who said that one key factor for the Spaniard is how well will he handle the pressure against an opponent who is almost surely going to bounce back whenever Nadal gains an advantage. Meanwhile, Djokovic’s dominance on the hardcourt surface is a key reason why Stanley Kay and Jamie Lisanti are picking the Serbian to deliver. Djokovic has won all of his last seven meetings with Nadal on the hardcourt.

Stanley Kay Novak Djokovic
Jamie Lisanti Novak Djokovic

The Telegraph

The Telegraph knows fully well the colossal magnitude of this matchup. They also know that they have to choose only one side to win. And their vote goes to Nadal, the underdog, who has just one Australian title compared to the six of Djokovic. For the publication, Nadal is going to finish off Djokovic in four sets.

TopBet Writer Ryan Simpson

There’s a definite admiration in favor of Nadal heard in Ryan’s voice in the intro of his Djokovic vs Nadal 2019 Australian Open predictions article that was published this AM, but in the end he conceded his fandom in favor of the man who absolutely dominates the Aussie Open (6 titles) and outdoor hard court. Simpson picks Novak in five sets.
