Daniil Medvedev

Schwartzman doesn’t have a chance to qualify further in this tournament even if he secures a win against Daniil. In addition, the latter has already etched his name in one of the semi-final spots. However, none of the two are expected to take this battle lightly. Daniil is in an astounding form. He is barely missing any first serves and is very likely to come atop in this battle.

Match Prediction: Medvedev wins in 3 sets.
