Novak Djokovic hopes to make history on Sunday when taking on Matteo Berrettini in the Wimbledon final. A victory will be his 20th Grand Slam title, matching the number won by both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It'll also be his third Grand Slam of the year and his sixth Wimbledon title. Djokovic has only lost one set on his way to this final and that was the first one he played against Jack Draper. Since then, again increasingly difficult opposition, he's won 18 sets in a row. He beat Denis Shapovalov in Friday's semi-final, his opponent playing well but still not winning a set. When we get to this stage of a tournament, Djokovic ensures his standard of play goes up and up. You can expect that to happen in this final.

A win for Matteo Berrettini would set up Italy nicely for the Euro 2020 final. He'd make history if winning this as no Italian has won the mens's singles at Wimbledon. He prepared well for this tournament by winning the grass court cinch Championships in London. His game is suited to grass and he may well give Djokovic a lot of problems. He's never beaten the world number one and there's a difference between causing problems and beating Djokovic. Go for under 38.5 games in this match and a side bet on a tie- break.
