Pablo Llamas Ruiz vs Daniil Medvedev prediction
Pablo Llamas Ruiz advanced to the third-round of a Masters 1000 event for the first time after getting past Corentin Moutet in three sets. Moutet was a break up on two occasions in the deciding set, but the Spaniard came back to win 6-4 3-6 7-6 (4) after three hours and two minutes. The 23-year-old has won a Challenger title this season in Alicante.
He now faces former world number one Daniil Medvedev. The Russian was given a walkover in round two after his opponent Tomas Machac withdrew from the tournament. Medvedev last competed in Madrid, reaching the round-of-16 before losing to Flavio Cobolli in three sets. He has won two titles in Brisbane and Dubai this season, and has returned to the top 10 of the world rankings.
Medvedev will be raring to go, but Llamas Ruiz is continuing to grow at ATP events, and he has the weapons to challenge on a clay court. The Russian is a clear favourite, but he could be pushed.
