Daniil Medvedev vs Nicolai Budkov Kjaer prediction
Daniil Medvedev recovered from his Monte Carlo horror show to advance in Madrid.
The Russian faced a tricky clash with Fabian Marozsan but edged the Hungarian 6-2 6-7 6-4.
The seventh seed will now meet qualifier Nicolai Budkov Kjaer after the Norwegian thumped Denis Shapovalov 6-2 6-1.
If the 19-year-old can replicate that form things may be tricky for Daniil, but the former world number one is unlikely to offer up as many cheap points and will likely use his experience to find a way.
