Tennis Prediction
For today you can bet on our tennis prediction: Alexander Zverev vs Daniil Medvedev at ATP – SINGLES: Miami (USA), hard.
Alexander Zverev has got a clean record over the Russian, having won the previous two meetings in straight sets. However, on current form, Daniil Medvedev does have a fair chance of registering his first win over the German.
Alexander Zverev Preview
Alexander Zverev hasn’t got the kind of start to the season that he would have expected, especially after enjoying a breakthrough season in 2017. Apart from reaching the semifinal at Acapulco, he could not win more than two matches in any tournaments this season (on tour).
The German was just one point away from a securing a *5-1 lead in the deciding set of his second round match at the Indian Wells earlier this month (R1 bye). But he did not take his chances and went onto lose the next five games before suffering a painful loss at the hands of Joao Sousa, 5-7 7-5 4-6.
Alexander Zverev has entered the Miami Open thrice in the past and managed to win at least one match on all three occasions. Progressing to the quarterfinal in 2017 is his best result in this tournament.
The German #1, who parted ways with Juan Carlos Ferrero earlier this season, is currently involved in a war of words with the former World #1 which, coupled with his current form, is not helping his on-court performance.
Daniil Medvedev Preview
Daniil Medvedev fought back from a set down to defeat the fellow Next Gen Star Stefanos Tsitsipas in his first-round match, 2-6 6-4 6-2. The two teenagers involved in a heated argument at the end of the match.
Unlike Zverev, the Russian has made his best ever start to a season by winning his maiden tour title at Sydney and progressing to the quarterfinal at Rotterdam (as a qualifier). He also made the third round at the Indian Wells last fortnight, where he lost to Pablo Carreno Busta in straight sets.
The win against Tsitsipas was his maiden win at the Miami Open (debut appearance- 2018), and his victory over Steve Johnson in the first round of the Indian Wells was his first ever win in a Masters 1000 event in eight attempts.
