Daniil Medvedev vs Stefanos Tsitsipas prediction

Daniil Medvedev got back to winning ways as he defeated Juncheng Shang in round one of the Qatar Open. The Russian, who won this tournament in 2023, was not broken on serve and conceded just one break point as he won 6-4 6-2 after one hour and 15 minutes. Medvedev lost in the first-round of the Rotterdam Open last week.

He goes up against former rival Stefanos Tsitsipas in the next round. Tsitsipas beat Moez Echargui in straight sets to make it through to the round-of-16. The Greek did not even concede a break point as he wrapped up a comfortable 6-4 6-4 victory.

This will be the first match between the pair since October 2024, and their 15th meeting in total. Medvedev leads the head-to-head 10-4 and 6-1 on outdoor hard court. The Russian knows how to neutralise Tsitsipas’ game, especially on this surface, and his return game is likely to provide him with a number of opportunities. A straight sets victory in favour of Medvedev, who dominates the rivalry, holds value.
