The upcoming match between Novak and Kopp promises to be tightly contested, with both players demonstrating notable strengths. Novak has consistently bested Kopp in their head-to-head matchups, securing victory in all previous encounters.

Yet, given their history and Novak's advantageous head-to-head record, Novak is the likely favorite to win this upcoming tennis match.
