Learner Tien vs Daniil Medvedev prediction

Daniil Medvedev will get the chance to avenge his Australian Open humbling when he takes on Learner Tien in the last four in China.

The Russian’s ‘Annus Horribilis’ started with a five-set loss to the teenager in Melbourne in January, but now he’s looking to turn the tables and end 2025 on a high note. 

Indeed, the eighth seed maintained his dominance over second seed Alexander Zverev with a convincing 6-3 6-3 success to suggest he's on an upward trajectory.

It sets up a second clash with Tien after the American came through a quarter-final with Lorenzo Musetti when the Italian retired while trailing 6-4 3-6 0-3.

The world number 52 does love a giant-killing and you cannot rule him out causing Medvedev another hardcourt headache here.

It does feel like the world number 18 is finding his feet under a new-look coaching set-up, however, and we fancy him to be highly motivated to put the youngster in his place and reach the final.
