Andy Murray vs. Daniil Medvedev: Preview 

Andy Murray

Former World No. 1 Andy Murray’s resurgence is kind of unparalleled in recent memory. After a long gap away from the court, Murray has stunned tennis fans with his stamina and resilience. In the 2023 Australian Open, the Briton produced two incredible comebacks against Matteo Berrettini and Thanasi Kokkinakis

The 35-year-old is having a series of marathon matches this season. Before the semi-final, he overpowered Lorenzo Sonego, Alexander Zverev, and Alexandre Muller. Murray beat each of them in three sets. The semifinal round was no different either where Murray defeated Jiri Lehecka after saving five match points in the decider to win 8-6 in the tiebreak.

Daniil Medvedev, on the other hand, has had a comparatively easy run in Doha. Earlier in Rotterdam, he ended the title drought that somewhat helped him forget the unsuccessful Australian Open campaign. En route to the final, 2021 US Open champion Medvedev defeated big names like Felix Auger-Aliassime and Grigor Dimitrov among others.

Daniil Medvedev

Both Murray and Medvedev are looking to redeem themselves. Though the Briton is in the twilight years of his career. Medvedev’s priority is to get back to the top of the rankings and Murray wants to enjoy it till it lasts. Going by some recent matches of Murray, the final in Doha will be no less than ‘epic’. 

Medvedev leads the head-to-head by 2-0 against Murray winning both meetings in straight sets. But three-time Grand Slam champion Murray has more experience with him. Both of them have enough matches going into the final sets. So it is going to the battle of equals. 

Prediction: Andy Murray to win in 3 sets.
