Novak Djokovic will face Aljaz Bedene in the third round of the French Open on May 27 at the Stade Roland Garros. Here, you will know the preview, date, time, how to watch on TV and livestream, head to head, odds and prediction of the Djokovic vs Bedene match.
Preview:
Djokovic breezed through the first round, defeating Yoshihito Nishioka with ease. In the second round, though, he faced some resistance from Alex Molcan. The first two sets were rather easy to win, but the third set was a back-and-forth battle that went all the way to a tiebreaker, which the Slovak just almost lost.
In the third set, Djokovic had an early lead in the break count, but Molcan came storming back to even the score at 2-2. After that point, neither player was able to lose their serve, therefore a tie-break was necessary.
Djokovic produced a brilliant tie-break to secure a 6-2, 6-3, 7-6(4) triumph and extend his winning run to seven sets. Prior to coming in Paris, Djokovic had won the championship in Rome, so he brought that momentum with him to Paris.
After defeating Christopher O’Connell in the first round in four sets, Aljaz Bedene went on to pull off a major upset in the second round against clay aficionado Pablo Cuevas. Christopher O’Connell was the opponent in the first round.
Bedene started out on the wrong foot, falling down 5-1 in the first set, which put him in a disadvantageous position. Cuevas was able to finish out the set on his second try, despite the fact that he was able to get the break back.
Bedene started the second set in a position of disadvantage, but she battled back to draw even with her opponent. After that, he evened the score by gaining two service breaks on his rival’s serve. In the third set, events transpired in a way fairly similarly to those of the second, with Bedene falling down early but eventually mounting a comeback. In the end, the winner was decided by a tie-break.

Djokovic vs Bedene Prediction:
Bedene won 76 percent of the games on his first serve and hit 13 aces throughout the match. However, those stats are sure to take a tumble if they are played against a returner of the ability of Novak Djokovic.
In the most recent few of weeks, Djokovic has been dominating his competition. He won the championship in Rome without losing a single set, and he has brought that energy with him to Paris. In his last encounter against Molcan, the Serb was rather dominant, hitting 10 aces and 40 wins while making just 19 mistakes. Molcan was unable to keep up with the Serb. Even on clay, his serve has evolved into a formidable weapon, which enables him to play the games on his own terms and gives him an advantage.
The present state of the Serb’s game suggests that he should be able to dismantle his opponent’s strategy and play well enough to get to the fourth round of the French Open.
Prediction: Novak Djokovic will win the game.
