Medvedev vs Rune Prediction

Daniil Medvedev took down Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets in a match that featured multiple rain interruptions. Medvedev was the steadier, calmer, and more clinical performer in the end as he cruised past the Greek, registering his eighth win in 12 matches in their rivalry. Despite coming into the match as the overwhelming underdog, the Russian absorbed pace in usual Medvedev style, standing a couple of feet behind the baseline and returning everything Tsitsipas threw at him. Medvedev was equally brilliant on the attack, converting all four of his break points. Sunday’s opponent will be Holger Rune with the pair set for a Monte Carlo rematch. In Moncao the young Dane won quite comfortably, and while he’ll be expected to emerge triumphant again, Medvedev has thrived playing the underdog card. With that said, Rune has played marginally better during the fortnight, beating Novak Djokovic for the second time in his career and French Open finalist Casper Ruud. The Dane will certainly need to keep his emotions in check even though he’s had no problems in getting the desired results thus far. It should be an intriguing final, and a close outcome in store than their Monte Carlo encounter. We’re backing the young Dane to lay down a marker just before the big battleground in Paris.
