Yunchaokete Bu vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction

Yunchaokete Bu produced a good performance in the first round to beat Nishesh Basavareddy 7-5 6-4 and that will give the Chinese 23-year-old good confidence coming into this second-round encounter.

He now meets Daniil Medvedev and this is the first time that the pair have met on the ATP Tour.

The Russian is the fifth seed this week and he will be hoping to go deep into the competition. He reached the quarters in both Doha and Dubai but he will be expecting to do better here.

This is a tournament that he has done well in the last couple of years having reached the final in each of the last two editions losing to Carlos Alcaraz on both occasions. With Zverev out and Sinner suspended, he can go far once again this year.

We like him to get off to a winning start and his performances in the last few weeks have certainly improved. We back him to win in straight sets here.

Yunchaokete Bu vs Daniil Medvedev Tip: Daniil Medvedev to win 2-0
