TennisSection previews the 2023 Madrid Open first-round match featuring Dominic Thiem vs. Kyle Edmund on Thursday, April 27, 2023.

Dominic Thiem vs. Kyle Edmund Preview

Will Dominic Thiem get the win? Will Kyle Edmund pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have the former World No. 3 taking on a player who is also on the comeback trail. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 64 at the 2023 Madrid Open?

Dominic Thiem has gotten a couple of wins under his belt lately, and he himself has said that he’s feeling better than he has in his comeback so far. He has a great shot to take out Kyle Edmund and record yet another win in Madrid, of which he’s had quite a few in the past. Edmund is much further off in his comeback trail than Thiem is, so I expect the Austrian to show his superiority and grab the win for a spot in the Round of 64 of the 2023 Madrid Open.

Kyle Edmund has the tall task of taking on Dominic Thiem in his opening match, and it may prove to be too difficult for the Brit. Edmund hasn’t played that much tennis lately, but it is definitely tough considering his ranking. Thiem has been playing a lot more tennis than him, and is in much better form despite still being so far off from his best. Let’s see if Thiem can grab the win and move through to the second round at the 2023 Madrid Open.

Dominic Thiem vs. Kyle Edmund Prediction and Pick

Dominic Thiem and Kyle Edmund have met once before, with Dominic Thiem leading the head to head 1-0. Their one meeting came just over 6 years ago in Barcelona in 2017. Thiem won quite easily, and although he’s certainly not playing at that level right now, I still expect him to replicate the result from their last match and move through to the Round of 64 at the 2023 Madrid Open.
