THE LOWDOWN
World number two Daniil Medvedev got his US Open campaign underway with a predictably ruthless straight sets victory over Richard Gasquet. The Russian was a runner-up to Rafael Nadal here in 2019, where he lost in five exhilarating sets to the Spaniard. World number 57 Dominik Koepfer has enjoyed a strong season on tour, with a memorable third round battle with Roger Federer at Roland-Garros just one example of his improving form. The German beat Quentin Halys in five sets on Monday in a mistake-filled, open contest.
THE PREDICTION
After winning the recent Canadian Open, 25-year-old Daniil Medvedev looks like Novak Djokovic’s stiffest competition alongside Alexander Zverev, who won the Cincinnati Open a week later. The Russian will more than likely win this Grand Slam, or the Australian Open, sooner rather than later as an excellent, unorthodox nightmare to play on hard courts and he should be too hot to handle for Dominik Koepfer. The German is a solid all-court player but so much more effective on his favoured clay surface, although he did take the first set against Medvedev in their previous meeting here in the round of 16 in 2019. Two years on, take an improved Medvedev to win in straight sets.
