In this clash, it is probably better to favour De Minaur and Sock. The American has regular playing practice in matches of this format. De Minaur has played 11 doubles matches this season. Berrettini and Djokovic can’t boast the same.
Usually, such matches are tightly contested. They will be played by tennis players of the highest calibre. We can’t expect a convincing win for either side.
In 3 of Sock’s last 4 doubles matches, the maximum number of sets were played.
This will be Djokovic’s first doubles match of the season. He has no such matches in 2022. In 2021, though, he played 10 double matches. He even reached the final of the Mallorca tournament when he paired up with Carlos Gomez-Herrera. However, he failed to win the title at that time. Nole and Gomez-Herrera did not appear in the decisive match against Simone Bolelli and Maximo Gonzalez.
Berrettini had only 3 doubles matches in the season. At the ATP Cup, he paired with Jannik Sinner to defeat Fabrice Martin and Edouard Roger-Vasselin. In the other two matches at the tournament, the Italians were defeated.
In nine of Berrettini’s last ten doubles matches, at least 22 games have been played.
In the De Minaur/Sock pairing, the American can be singled out. Jack plays doubles matches on a regular basis. He has an impressive record this season. In total, in 2022 Sock played 27 duels in which he won 21.
It is worth noting that Jack has won some titles this season. In March, he was paired with John Isner to take the Masters at Indian Wells. In August, backed by Nick Kyrgios, Jack won the title in Washington.
In seven of Sock’s last ten doubles meetings, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set.
