Holger Rune vs Daniil Medvedev: Preview
2023 has been the launch pad for Holger Rune. Incredible consistency across surfaces has been his hallmark. With a title at the Bavarian Open and multiple other deep runs, he has announced himself. The Italian Open presents him with another opportunity to lift a title in 2023. The 20-year-old Danish is coming into this contest on the back of three consecutive 3-set matches. He had to beat Fognini, Djokovic, and Ruud on his way to the final. Rune has taken multiple timeouts this week. The only thing that could come his way is his own health.
Daniil Medvedev is on track to get back the World No. 1 ranking he owned last year. Fallen to No. 12, he was determined to change that. After a shocker in Melbourne earlier this year, Medvedev made it to five finals in a row. He won four out of them, including the Miami Open. A little patchy on clay, the Russian seems to have found his feet in the Italian Open. Medvedev has walked a relatively easier path than his final opponent. He has only lost one set and will be coming into this contest after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets.
Rune and Medvedev have taken on each other only once before. The clash took place a month ago in Monte Carlo. The Danish ace got the better of Medvedev in that encounter. Will he be able to make it 2-0 against the Russian?
Holger Rune vs Daniil Medvedev: Prediction
Rune may have the head-to-head edge, however, Medvedev in the last week has looked like a much better clay court player. His win over Tsitsipas will give him great confidence. Having said that, the kind of form Rune is, one can’t really count him out. His concerns are his own body as he has struggled with niggles throughout the week. Expect the Danish ace to take a set, however back Medvedev to win the trophy.
Prediction: Daniil Medvedev to win in three sets
