THE PREDICTION
World number three Daniil Medvedev returned to the tour this week in Madrid after missing a month with covid-19 and the Russian started sluggishly against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina before eventually coming through in three. A fit and firing Medvedev will worry the rest of the draw here in Madrid and the 25-year-old has an exemplary record at Masters level that looks set to improve this week. World number 25 Cristian Garin beat in-form Dominik Koepfer on Wednesday morning in a convincing if uninspiring win but the Chilean has struggled to put away the tougher opponents in recent weeks. Medvedev was the winner in straight sets in their only previous meeting, also a round of 16 match at a Masters event at the 2019 Rogers Cup, and he should take this in two too.
