Daniil Medvedev’s game is defined by his powerful baseline dominance and great defensive abilities. To outlast opponents in long rallies, he depends on solid groundstrokes and exceptional court covering. His flat and strong groundstrokes allow him to dominate points and control the pace of the game.

Tommy Paul, in contrast, possesses a more aggressive and versatile playing style. He often looks to take control of points early with aggressive shot-making, including his forehand. Paul is known for his willingness to come to the net and finish points with volleys, showcasing his net skills. While he can engage in baseline exchanges, his game is characterized by a willingness to take risks and play aggressively when opportunities arise.

Prediction: Medvedev to win in straight sets
