Djokovic leads the H2H 1-0, having played in one of the most forgettable Semi-finals at a major event in recent times (AO earlier this year if you'd forgotten, I don't blame you)

You could argue that playing four consecutive matches over 3 plus hours had an effect on Pouille's performance, this time he should be a lot fresher and thus a more competitive match could be in store. :unsure:

Last match scheduled on Center Court, not before 9:00 pm, local time. May the best man win.
 
Earth's Mightiest has got to be sensing this is a great chance now to go all the way here.
 
It is very easy to remember the number of games Pouille won last time. ;)
However, this time around he would win a few more games since Djokovic won't be playing his A game.

Pouille was a bit of "deer caught in the headlights" of Nole train last time. Think he might play this match better.
That said, Novak in 2. Gazi boraniju!
 
Djokovic’s matches are so hard to predict

you know he’s gonna routine Pouille if he shows up

but he could also gift a break in the first game after serving 2 DFs
 
In all 20 of Pouille's matches against top ten opposition, he's only ever been over 60% 1st serves in twice (60% vs Karen yesterday, 61% vs Fed Paris 14)
 
Djokovic stated he had to play at a high level to take out Pablo B. That was a nice match. Score did not tell the whole story.
 
it’s pretty refreshing to see an opponent winning points against Djokovic because he outplays him in rallies and not by Djokovic being drunk and making unforced error on every shot
