Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Daniil Medvedev: Preview
Stefanos Tsitsipas has been in fiery form this season. His win at the Lyon Open and Monte Carlo Masters boosted his confidence significantly. Over the past week, he has cemented his place as one of the favourites to make it to the final, simply because his game is perfectly suited to the clay.
Daniil Medvedev came into this tournament on the back of a terrible clay-court season. Though the cards were stacked against him, he has raised his game in leaps and bounds with every passing match over the past week.
Both Tsitsipas and Medvedev share a lot of similar qualities. From their incredible groundstrokes to their never-say-die attitude, these youngsters have certainly shown us why the pundits believe they will dominate the tennis world in years to come!
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Daniil Medvedev: Head-to-Head
The pair have met six times before with Medvedev holding a significant 5-1 lead over his opponent. Medvedev also won their only meeting on clay in the 2019 Monte Carlo Masters, while the other 5 encounters were held on hard courts.
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Daniil Medvedev: Prediction
This match will have tennis fans on the edge of their seats! Both players are in excellent form, with Tsitsipas gathering considerable momentum over the course of the season. However, Medvedev has peaked at the right time and his powerful ground shots are sure to cause Tsitsipas some problems.
Tsitsipas, on the other hand, is a great retriever of the tennis ball. He can play well-placed shots even on the run. That being said, he often resorts to a counter-attacking game and plays his opponent off the court with great angles and substantial power. Simply because this style of play is best suited to the clay and the fact that he is a great fighter with loads of confidence, I believe Tsitsipas should grind out a victory over Medvedev.
Prediction: Tsitsipas to win in 4 sets
