Despite all his neck problems, Djokovic still managed to win the Masters in New York. But not all fights in this tournament were easy for the Serb. It was especially hard for Novak in the last two. At first, Roberto Bautista-Agut had every chance to create a sensation, but at the decisive moment the Spaniard’s hand trembled (4-6, 6-4, 7-6) and then Milos Raonic did the same in the final. The Canadian defeated the first racket of the world, in the debut set, with a score of 6-1 and it seemed that nothing would save Djokovic. Nevertheless, the Balkan managed to turn the tide of the meeting and won next two games. In 2019, Novak was eliminated here in the fourth round. Now the main task of the Serb is to win his next Grand Slam title.
Philadelphia built their game previously exclusively through defense, but now they cannot stop the strikers of the Islanders and can hardly score more than two times. Note that the team of Alain Vigno achieved success in the second match of the series, largely due to the fact that they issued three goals in the starting period. Perhaps, the Pilots need to act as actively as possible in the first twenty minutes and score as much as possible in order to earn an advantage for themselves and simply keep it. It is also desirable for the Flyers to break the rules less, because in the two previous fights they conceded in the minority. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
