THE PREDICTION
World number three Daniil Medvedev was remarkably composed for a man who finished his second round match at 3:40 AM, starting on Thursday night. The 27-year-old had himself to blame for a slow start against a tough opponent in Emil Ruusuvuori but a comeback from two sets down should be something to celebrate for the Russian, not something that sees him get to bad at dawn with fewer than 40 hours to recover. World number 30 Felix Auger-Aliassime endured a five-set thriller of his own over Dominic Thiem on Monday and he dropped a further set against qualifier Hugo Grenier as he continues to seek out his best tennis. The 23-year-old has struggled with confidence over the past few months following his first real dearth of form and fitness last season but he will know that he stands a huge chance at a first victory over Medvedev if he makes this physical.
Two-time Australian runner-up Medvedev leads Auger-Aliassime 6-0 in their head-to-head, with their closets tussle a five-set victory in the quarter-finals here two years ago. Back the Russian to win at least two sets as the likelier victor but this match tips in the Canadian’s favour with each passing hour.
TIP: DANIIL MEDVEDEV TO WIN TWO SETS
