Novak Djokovic is set to play Lorenzo Musetti in the Wimbledon semi-final.
His presence in the semi-final is a bit surprising due to his recent knee surgery. Normally, seeing Djokovic at this stage wouldn’t be shocking, but given he had meniscus surgery just a month ago, it’s unexpected. Despite this, he’s earned his spot by playing well. Alex de Minaur’s injury allowed him to advance without playing the quarter-final, but now he must face Musetti.
Musetti isn’t typically strong on grass, but he’s improved this year. Now he faces a huge challenge: going up against a seven-time Wimbledon champion .
Head-to-head:
They’ve met six times in ATP matches; Musetti has only won once. This year they played twice on clay, and Djokovic won both times. Musetti often troubles Djokovic despite the latter being 37 years old. Doing so on grass would be impressive since Djokovic is heavily favored.

Djokovic usually beats Musetti easily on clay with minor hiccups here and there. Given his dominance on clay, fans expect him to win comfortably on grass too.
Prediction: Novak Djokovic to win in three sets.
What do you think? Will Djokovic cruise through or will Musetti surprise us?
