Djokovic has looked sharp through two rounds with straight-set wins over Pedro Martinez and qualifier Francesco Maestrelli.<\/p><p>Even at 38, Djokovic&rsquo;s 2025 stats still grade like a major-winning profile with 77% first-serve points won, 32% first-serve return points won, and 42% break-point conversion. From a betting standpoint, the tension is clear as the moneyline is unplayable. But books are offering multiple ways to price whether Zandschulp can extend this past three sets or keep it competitive.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NOVAK DJOKOVIC KEEPS ROLLING &#128293;<br><br>The 10-time Australian Open champion took care of Italy&rsquo;s Francesco Maestrelli in straight sets to book his spot in Round 3 &#127934; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OFrBBl474F\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/OFrBBl474F<\/a><\/p>&mdash; OutOfSightSports&#128640;&trade;&#65039; (@OOSSports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OOSSports\/status\/2014203908004909480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 22, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Van de Zandschulp arrives as world No. 75 and is already at his best Melbourne run with this third-round appearance. He&rsquo;s coming off a four-set win over 27th seed Brandon Nakashima and a straight-set win over Juncheng Shang. But his recent form has been inconsistent overall, including a straight-set loss to Alexander Bublik in Hong Kong. His 2025 stats are respectable, with 73% first-serve points won, 30% first-serve return points won, and 38% break-point conversion.<\/p><p>For today&rsquo;s tennis picks, here&rsquo;s how we&rsquo;re

Djokovic -1800 implies this match is more about margin than outcome. That pushes bettors toward spreads, totals, and straight-set derivatives.<\/p><p>That&rsquo;s why the cleanest value angle here is Under 3.5 Sets (-158 at FanDuel) rather than laying the heavy -7.5 games. This is the kind of matchup where he can win a set even without peak serving simply by creating more return chances and cashing them efficiently. The -7.5 spread can still get there, but it&rsquo;s more fragile because a brief dip in intensity can kill the margin without ever threatening the match result.<\/p><p>The counterpoint is the head-to-head already includes a 2025 win for van de Zandschulp at Indian Wells (three sets), which is the main volatility warning sign. But Djokovic&rsquo;s major pattern historically (especially in Melbourne) leans toward shutting the door early, and that fits the current pricing: FanDuel has Djokovic 3-0 at -155.<\/p><p>\n\n\n

I previously wrote for Sportskeeda and hold a B.A. and M.A. in History. My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn\u2019t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren\\'t noise; they\\'re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_rudradubey__\/","https:\/\/x.com\/Rudradubey1997"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/rudra\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648901"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648901"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":648903,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648901\/revisions\/648903"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
