THE PREDICTION
World number four Daniil Medvedev beat a slightly hampered Holger Rune in straight sets on Thursday, backing-up two eye-catching results over Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Korda. The 28-year-old finished runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz here last season and this run says his affinity with the conditions he once vocally lambasted is no fluke, nor does his first ever win on clay at the Italian Open last May. The former number one has made some subtle but hugely successful improvements to his game, and perhaps more importantly mentality, over the past two seasons to see him a bigger threat out of his comfort zone and there is no better example of the results than across the Sunshine Double – where it is too hot and too slow for the charismatic Russian.
World number 17 Tommy Paul did fabulously well to outlast in-form Casper Ruud in three sets on Thursday, backing -up a surprising win over Ugo Humbert in the third round, but this looks too steep of a challenge in the last four. The 26-year-old will enjoy a partisan atmosphere on Saturday but a 0-2 deficit to Medvedev in their head-to-head suggests he has not yet found the right weapons to disrupt one of the game’s best disruptors. Back Medvedev to reach the final for a second year.
TIP: DANIIL MEDVEDEV TO WIN
