Since breaking into the top 10 Djokovic has no losses against players from countries with a population of less than 1 million people.
Considering the Monégasque's struggles to close out his matches against Griekspoor and Rune I doubt he has the mental capacity to survive another long battle against a way mentally stronger player. A strong start is crucial for the Monégasque. If Djokovic wins the 1st set he'll win the match.

Prediction: Djokovic in 2.

If Djokovic gets the win here, will he qualify for the YEC already or will he need one additional match win?

Apart from completely new territory and lack of any experience at these stages, Vacherot is prob gonna be too gassed after playing 19 sets and spending nearly 15h on court within 10 days since the qualies. Today's 3h match doesn't help him much either.

Novak will likely get it done in 2 sets, Vacherot has also been a very slow starter against the seeded players he's faced so far this week, so I fully expect Novak to win the 1st set and go on to win the match relatively comfortably. It would take a miracle for Vacherot to somehow win this match, which can only happen if Novak will be physically struggling a lot.

it needed a useless mug of the calibre of rune to make such atrocity happen. a fucking qualifier with a shot for a masters final... :facepalm:
