TennisSection previews the 2022 Acapulco Open as Daniil Medvedev takes on Benoit Paire in the Round of 32 on Monday, February 21st, 2022.
Will Daniil Medvedev get the win? Will Benoit Paire pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where the top seed coming off a heartbreaker takes on a tricky first test. Who will move on to the Round of 16 at the 2022 Acapulco Open?
Daniil Medvedev just lost an absolute heartbreaker down under, losing the 2nd longest grand slam final of all time after being up 2 sets to love. I think Medvedev won’t be distraught on the court though, I think he’s gunning to make a comeback and he’ll be playing as good as ever. Benoit Paire is a tricky opponent, and at his best he is tough to beat, but he hasn’t been winning too much lately, so Medvedev should have an easy first match as he aims to get a good start to his week at the 2022 Acapulco Open.
Benoit Paire has a very challenging one ahead of him in Daniil Medvedev, with the mental fragility he possesses compared to the mental fortitude of Medvedev who is gunning for the top spot on the ATP Rankings, Paire just seems to be an obstacle Medvedev will push out of the way. If he wants to win, his only hope is that Medvedev will be mentally off from his demons in Australia, which is very unlikely as the World No. 2 aims to take down Paire and move on to the Round of 16 of the 2022 Acapulco Open.
Daniil Medvedev and Reilly Opelka have met twice before, with Daniil Medvedev leading the head to head 2-0. Their two meetings came earlier in Medvedev’s career, yet he still won them both. One of them came at his memorable run in Cincinnati a few years ago, with Medvedev winning quite easily. This matchup is just not winnable for Paire, even if he’s at his best, their games correspond in a way where Medvedev should have absolutely 0 issues swatting Paire to the side as he aims to move through to the last 16 of the 2022 Acaupulco Open.
