THE PREDICTION

World number four Daniil Medvedev came back from a set down to oust Lorenzo Sonego on Wednesday, a reasonably solid result given recent circumstances. The 27-year-old returned to the tour from a month off to defend his Dubai Tennis Championships title this week, with an extended break from tennis the wise decision after an arduous run to a third runner-up finish at the Australian Open. World number 24 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina avenged his shock defeat to up-and-coming Jakub Mensik in Doha last week, albeit via a retirement early in the second set after edging the opening tiebreak 9-7. The 24-year-old is one of the more unpredictable players on the ATP tour, capable of flashes of brilliance amidst a rather haphazard game, but Medvedev should be better for an early scare against Sonego to find his way through. The Russian leads their head-to-head 3-0 after most recently winning in straight sets a year ago at Indian Wells and he can be backed to do the same here.

TIP: DANIIL MEDVEDEV TO WIN 2-0
