Thiago Agustin Tirante vs Daniil Medvedev prediction

Thiago Agustin Tirante advanced to the round-of-16 at a Masters tournament for the first time in his career after defeating Flavio Cobolli in straight sets. The Argentine made it three straight wins and was largely dominant as he won 6-3 6-4 after one hour and 18 minutes. The 25-year-old is at his highest ranking of 69 in the world. 

He now takes on former world number one Daniil Medvedev in the next round. The Russian needed to come from a set down to beat Spanish qualifier Pablo Llamas Ruiz. Medvedev improved his level in the middle of the match as he won 3-6 6-4 6-2. He is seeking his second title in Rome, having won this event three years ago. 

Tirante seems to be coming into his own, having reached the semi-finals in Houston and won a couple of matches in Madrid, which included an impressive victory over Tommy Paul. Medvedev can be inconsistent on clay, and he will face a stern test here.
