Novak Djokovic vs Marton Fucsovics Prediction 5/21/25 Geneva Tennis Picks

Novak Djokovic and Marton Fucsovics meet in the second round of the 2025 ATP Geneva Open on Wednesday, May 21. Here’s our Novak Djokovic vs Marton Fucsovics prediction. This article will also include a Novak Djokovic vs Marton Fucsovics pick.

Novak Djokovic Preview

Novak Djokovic is the second seed at the ATP Geneva Open. He accepted a surprise wild card spot at the event. It will be the second time that Djokovic will compete in this ATP 250 event in the Swiss city. Djokovic received a bye in the first round. Djokovic played there last year and reached the semifinals, losing to Tomas Machac. His decision to return to Geneva raised a lot of eyebrows considering he skipped the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Rome, which he has won multiple times in the past and was a key event in preparation for the French Open given the talent on the field.

There’s been a lot of speculation on why Djokovic missed the Italian Open, but one of the reasons is not because of injury. Djokovic is healthy and was seen training back in Belgrade on clay courts. He has played in just two warm-up events before the French Open, once in Monte Carlo and once in Madrid. He is still looking to win his first match on clay this season. Will he get it in Geneva?

Marton Fucsovics Preview

Marton Fucsovics is unseeded and started his Geneva Open campaign in the first round. Fucsovics beat World No. 49 Zizou Bergs in his opening match in straight sets for his first main draw win at Tour level since early April in Bucharest. Back then, he made the semifinals.

Fucsovics took the first set 6-2 in 36 minutes, breaking Bergs three times and losing his serve once. In the second set, Fucsovics played even better, as he secured two breaks to wrap up a 6-2, 6-3 win in 81 minutes. Fucsovics progressed into the round of 16 in Geneva for the fourth time in his career. He won his first ATP event in this city seven years ago, but has not advanced beyond the second round in each of his last three trips.

Novak Djokovic vs Marton Fucsovics Prediction

One of the most bizarre but could ultimately prove to be a genius decision from Djokovic to play this ATP 250 event just before the French Open. Last year, he wasn’t particularly pleased with his form heading to Roland Garros and chose to play in Geneva. He actually looked very competitive in Paris and only injury forced him from going further than the quarterfinals. This year, Djokovic is in the same mire, but I won’t be writing him off. So, I’m looking at Djokovic securing a much-needed three-set victory.
