Djokovic vs. Shapovalov preview

Djokovic has barely been pushed so far at Wimbledon, and has dropped just one set in five games. That came in the opening set of his starting game – he has won 15 sets in a row and has only drawn once.

Djokovic has been the owner of a career series against Shapovalov. The Serb has won six career meetings between the players, winning all but two sets. In the final match, this year at the Australian ATP Cup, Djokovic defeated Shapovalov 7-5, 7-5.

But Shapovalov, the third Canadian to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals, has the kind of game to give Djokovic trouble. The left can dominate opponents with his serve and his fast electric hand. He has scored 59 points in five Wimbledon 2021 matches and is fifth. The fastest speed of 137 MPH for its service is equal to that of the third.

That service reached Karen Khachanov on Wednesday in the fifth set of the quarterfinals, suggesting the season will not be an issue. In that match, Shapovalov had 18 aces (three of Khachanov’s), winning 86 percent of his first serve and 59 wins.
