🔍 Match Breakdown

Djokovic isn’t in peak form, but his ability to control rallies, absorb pace, and dismantle Fucsovics’ rhythm gives him a huge advantage. The Hungarian may test Djokovic early with heavy forehands and solid clay movement, but historically he’s faded under Novak’s relentless depth and variation. Fucsovics doesn’t have the tools to consistently hurt Djokovic unless the Serbian is well below his baseline level—and Geneva is all about building rhythm for Novak ahead of Paris.

🔮 Prediction

Even with some clay rust, Djokovic’s return game and strategic baseline play should see him through comfortably. Fucsovics will be competitive early but lacks the cutting edge to convert pressure into sets. 🧩 Prediction: Novak Djokovic in 2 sets – steady, efficient performance from the top seed as he sharpens up for Roland Garros.
