Still, it will undoubtedly feature plenty of great matches and high-quality tennis, with everyone looking to end their season on a high note and set up a big 2025. Djokovic is the biggest name in the draw by far and will be playing this Tuesday, but there&#8217;s plenty else to look forward to as well in the Greek capital. But who will advance?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Athens Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Yannick Hanfmann vs Ivan Ivanov<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>From a ranking perspective, this is most likely the most one-sided match of the entire week and one of the most one-sided of the year. While Ivanov might have great potential in the future, at this point in his career, it is doubtful he has what it takes to upset a solid player like Hanfmann here, especially given the level the latter showed in qualifying.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Hanfmann in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Nuno Borges vs Eliot Spizzirri<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Borges has managed to stay in the top 50 but hasn&#8217;t had any significant breakthroughs this year, with Athens his last opportunity for a substantial run. Spizzirri hasn&#8217;t made any significant inroads either and is barely holding on to a top-100 spot. It should be quite a tight match in general, but with a slight advantage to Borges, all things considered.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Borges in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"QvFlAO6dRhNq3Cr-RALogg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2242451318\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'QvFlAO6dRhNq3Cr-RALogg',sig:'JRuCyxAhn1fjXusYAq9bEzHZp-ZH9jo34kg-PDxykZU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2242451318',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Novak Djokovic vs Alejandro Tabilo<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Tabilo 2-0 Djokovic<\/p>\n<p>In what is perhaps the most stunning head-to-head record in tennis, Tabilo has routined Djokovic twice in clay court Masters 1000 events, with the Serb not even threatening to win a set. As confident as Tabilo might be given those previous results, it&#8217;s tough to imagine that scenario repeating itself on an indoor hard court. Djokovic is on the hunt for career title #101 and is very unlikely to stop that chase this Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Djokovic in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey &#8211; Imagn Images<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 3 at the ATP 250 event in Athens won&#8217;t yet feature Lorenzo Musetti&#8217;s bid for a place in Turin.
