Djokovic's form is improving

Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, is aiming for his milestone 25th title in Paris. After a muscle injury that forced him to withdraw from the Australian Open semifinals, his season began unevenly.

He quickly returned to action, playing in Doha and Indian Wells, and reached the final at the Miami Masters, where he lost to Jakub Mensik. The clay season also started with difficulties: Djokovic apologized for his poor performance in Monte Carlo and admitted that adapting to the surface took more time than usual.

Only in May did the Serb claim his 100th ATP title in Geneva, after which he stated he was ready for Roland Garros. In the first round, he comfortably defeated Mackenzie McDonald 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. The only downside was his first serve accuracy — 66%, which he will aim to improve in the next match.

Moutet — a tricky opponent, but not a top player

Frenchman Corentin Moutet delivered one of the most entertaining performances of the first round, defeating Clément Tabur 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-3. In that match, he executed 35 drop shots and 21 lobs, showcasing his creativity and endurance.

Moutet is a left-hander of short stature but makes up for it with technique and unconventional decisions. His best result this season is reaching the round of 16 at the Rome Masters. However, against top-10 players, he has only one win and 13 losses.

In head-to-head meetings, the Serb has complete dominance — 2:0. Last year, he easily defeated Moutet in Rome (6-3, 6-1), and earlier — on hard court in Paris. If Djokovic avoids physical issues, he should be able to close out the match without much trouble. The only thing to watch out for is tiebreaks, where the Frenchman can shine, having had some positive experiences in such scenarios. Given this, the bet on Djokovic to win and total under 31.5 games at odds of 1.80 seems the most favorable.
