Novak Djokovic V Denis Kudla

Djokovic drew Kudla for his second round match at Wimbledon. Kudla is an excellent grass-courter, but that won’t be enough for him against Djokovic. Djokovic gets a much easier second round matchup than he had in the first. There is no head to head record between Novak Djokovic and Denis Kudla since this will be the first time that they will clash against each other at a pro level. According to Vbet, Novak Djokovic is the favourite to win the match.
