Top seed Novak Djokovic continues his bid to win the Golden Slam. He's never won the Olympic men's singles and takes on eighth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals. Who will win this match? You'll find out in our match prediction.

Djokovic has played three matches so far in this Olympic tournament and is yet to drop a set. Wins have come against Matthew Ebden, Rafael Nadal and in Wednesday's third round, Dominik Koepfer. Only 14 games have been dropped by the Serb in his three matches.

Now he takes on Stefanos Tsitsipas and he has an incredible record against the Greek player. The top seed has won 11 of their 13 previous meetings, including the last ten. On clay, Djokovic has won all five of their matches, including two at Roland Garros.

Tsitsipas hasn't beaten the Serb since 2019 but did take him to five sets in both their matches on this court. This is his second Olympic tournament, the other being in Tokyo three years ago. That didn't go too well with a loss to Ugo Humbert in the last 16.

The Greek has won one clay court tournament this year being successful in Monte Carlo. His last clay court tournament saw him get to the last four in Gstaad. Round one in this Olympic men's singles saw him have to go to three sets to get past Zizou Bergs.

It was smoother in round two with only three games dropped against Daniel Evans. Wednesday's third round match saw him beat Sebastian Baez in straight sets/ This should be a great match and we see Djokovic winning in straight sets.
