2024 Wimbledon men’s semifinal odds, time, Djokovic vs Musetti picks, predictions, best bets by proven expert
Novak Djokovic’s pursuit of winning a record 25th Grand Slam singles title has reached the 2024 Wimbledon semifinals, where Djokovic will face Italian upstart Lorenzo Musetti on Friday at approximately 10:30 p.m. ET at the All England Club. Djokovic’s 24 career Grand Slam singles titles are a record among men and two more than his closest rival, Rafael Nadal. Djokovic is tied with Margaret Court for the most Grand Slam singles titles, male or female. Musetti, meanwhile, will be making his first Grand Slam semifinal appearance.
Djokovic is the clear -900 favorite (risk $900, win $100), while Musetti is the +500 underdog. The over/under for total games is 34.5, with Djokovic the favorite by 6.5 games. The winner of Friday’s match will advance to the final and face either Carlos Alcaraz or Daniil Medvedev. Before making any picks for Musetti vs. Djokovic or any 2024 Wimbledon predictions, you need to see what SportsLine tennis handicapper Jose Onorato has to say.
Onorato grew up playing competitive tennis in Caracas, Venezuela. After coming to the U.S., he trained with renowned coach Nick Bollettieri at the IMG Academy in Florida and faced players such as Robert Farah, who is now one of the top-ranked doubles players in the world.
Onorato, who holds a double degree in finance and economics from the University of Miami, conducts thorough research before placing any bets on tennis. He studies current form, players’ tendencies on a particular surface, weather conditions, and many other relevant factors. This systematic approach has helped Onorato reach 168-106-9 (+107.12 units) through 2022. At the most recent Grand Slam tournament, the 2024 French Open, he correctly picked Iga Swiatek (-160) to win the women’s title.
Now, Onorato has analyzed the latest odds for the 2024 Wimbledon Djokovic vs. Musetti semifinal and identified his best bets. He’s sharing all of his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Why should you support Djokovic?
Djokovic will enter the semifinals as a fairly new player. After his scheduled quarterfinal opponent Alex de Minaur had to pull out due to injury, Djokovic has been able to rest since beating Holger Rune in the fourth round on Monday. Djokovic has spent just 10 hours and six minutes on court to reach the semifinals, which is significant for a player who underwent knee surgery on June 5. In contrast, Musetti has been on court for 15 hours and 53 minutes during the tournament.
In addition, Djokovic’s serve has been excellent over the past fortnight. He has won 83% (208-of-250) of his first serves, which ranks fifth in the field. He has also won 63% (78-of-124) of his second serves, which ranks fourth. You can see who to pick here.
Why should you support Musetti?
Musetti’s return of serve has arguably been the best of any player at Wimbledon. Over the past two weeks at the All England Club, Musetti has won both first-serve return points (146) and second-serve return points (142). His return game has also seen him break opponents’ serve 27 times, which ranks second in the field.
Plus, Musetti is playing better than ever on grass. The 22-year-old Italian has a 12-2 record in his last 14 grass-court matches. That includes reaching the final at Queen’s Club last month, the traditional preparation tournament for Wimbledon. You can see who to pick here.
