His first serve game was clinical, converting over three-quarters of them and winning 93% of points which saw him land the first serve. Djokovic also didn\u2019t allow a single break point across the entire contest, further underlining his dominance.<\/p>\n<p>Francesco Maestrelli got the better of Frenchman Terence Atmane in the first round, winning in five sets after trailing 2-1. The Italian stepped up a gear in the fourth and fifth set, emerging victorious in both by six games to one. But the challenge posed by Djokovic needs no description.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, Djokovic is a big favourite and once again, Djokovic should control the match. His ability on the hard court of Melbourne cannot be rivalled by Maestrelli if the Serbian superstar is on his game. Back him to advance comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>Francesco Maestrelli vs Novak Djokovic tip:\u00a0Novak Djokovic to win 3-0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Click here for today\u2019s sports betting tips from our expert analysts!
