Novak Djokovic vs Alejandro Tabilo prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Monte Carlo Masters 2025

Djokovic is a two-time champion at Monte Carlo.

Novak Djokovic’s pursuit of a historic 100th career title came close at the Miami Open 2025, but 19-year-old rising star Jakub Mensik ultimately stopped him. The Serbian last lifted an ATP trophy at the 2023 US Open and has since faced challenges with form and injuries. Despite early-round exits in recent tournaments, Djokovic performed strongly in Miami, thanks to his dominant serve. 

In addition to his titles in 2013 and 2015, the 24-time Grand Slam champion has consistently delivered deep runs at the Monte Carlo Masters. He was runner-up in 2009 and 2012, reached the semi-finals in 2008, 2010, and 2014, and the quarter-finals in 2017 and 2019.

Preview

Novak Djokovic will make his first appearance at the ATP Monte Carlo Masters 2025, hoping to kickstart the clay season in style. Having recently played in the finals of an ATP-1000 event, the Serbian hopes to perform consistently as he continues to improve and break his title drought.

Facing a relatively easy challenge, the 37-year-old will face Alejandro Tabilo, who has won just 3 games out of the eleven tournaments he has participated in, this year. The Chilean tennis player outlasted Stan Wawrinka in three sets, to confirm his spot in the round of 32.

Interestingly, Alejandro Tabilo is one of the few players who has an edge over Novak Djokovic., having beaten the Serb 6-2, 6-3 in their only exchange so far, at the Italian Open last year.

Match Prediction

Alejandro has struggled this season, managing a win rate of just 33%. In contrast, the in-form Novak Djokovic is expected to cruise through his opening match. All eyes will be on the Serbian’s movement and court coverage as he transitions from the fast-paced hard courts of Miami to the slower clay surfaces of Monte Carlo.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion is widely expected to secure a comfortable victory and book his place in the Round of 16.

Result: Djokovic will win in straight sets.
