Daniil Medvedev returns to tennis after his semifinal loss to Dominic Thiem at the US Open 2020 and returns to clay courts after almost 15 months. Medvedev might be a bit rusty in his first-round match due to his long time absence from the clay courts.

On the other hand, Ugo Humbert had a good run at the Italian Open 2020 where he reached the last 16. Humbert might cause Medvedev a bit of a problem due to his recent exposure to clay courts. However Medvedev, the top seed is expected to see out Humbert in a challenging match for the Russian.
