Prediction and Conclusion

These two players faced each other at the French Open and Wimbledon recently, and Djokovic won both of those. At the Roland Garros, he came back from a 2-1 down in a match that ended around 4 a.m. local time. Now the Serbian will have to push even harder since he is only one win away from playing for the only title he has never won. He had some sutrggles with the knee in the quarterfinals but said that he would play even if the doctors do no allow him to. Musetti is coming off a win over the defending Olympic champion and will not just show up in the semis. Anyway, Djokovic is hungry as never before, and he will cruise past Musetti in a straight-set win.
