The lesson was not learned\u2014bookmakers have once again underestimated the best Serbian athlete, giving him slim chances of victory against <strong>Carlos Alcaraz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Djokovic and Alcaraz will battle for the title at the first Grand Slam tournament of the season on Sunday starting at 9:30 a.m., and the Spanish tennis player holds a significant advantage. Despite the fact that Djokovic has won the Melbourne tournament 10 times, bookmakers believe that the current world No. 1 has far greater chances of lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"IY5HoaQDQz\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/kralj-se-vratio-na-teren-%d1%98okic-dominirao-protiv-klipersa-u-prvom-mecu-posle-povrede-koleno-radi-kao-nekad-video\/\">KRALJ SE VRATIO NA TEREN! \u0408oki\u0107 dominirao protiv Klipersa u prvom me\u010du posle povrede, koleno radi kao nekad!

On the other hand, the odds on Djokovic are around 3.5, which would bring a return of 350 dinars on a 100-dinar stake. It\u2019s not quite like the semifinal, when odds on Djokovic went as high as 10, but it is still undervaluing the greatest of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Novak Djokovic will once again have additional motivation, and we know that he plays some of the best matches of his career precisely when many write him off and give him minimal chances of winning. A triumph in Melbourne would be spectacular\u2014by winning the trophy, Novak would claim his 25th Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-cause-of-the-terrible-accident-revealed-paok-fans-died-due-to-an-error-in-the-vehicles-electronic-system-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE CAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE ACCIDENT REVEALED: PAOK fans died due to an error in the vehicle\u2019s electronic system!
