Daniil Medvedev vs Alexander Zverev – Match Predictions

As Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev go toe-to-toe with each other on Thursday, these are our predictions and tips for this match

Daniil Medvedev to Win

Daniil Medvedev has been arguably the most consistent player on the ATP Tour this year. The Russian player reached the final of the last five tournaments he participated in, winning four of them. It’s also worth mentioning that Medvedev has had Alexander Zverev’s number in recent years; as he won seven of the last eight clashes between these players. With that in mind, Medvedev should win this match.

Over 22.5 Total Games

Although we expect Medvedev to come out on top here, we don’t expect him to do so in straight sets. Although Medvedev won 26 of his last 27 singles matches, all of those wins came on hard courts. It’s fair to note that Medvedev has won 19 titles in his career, and 18 of those came on hard courts. He has never won a clay title in his career. That said, Zverev should give the Russian player a run for his money. We are fairly confident that this match will end in three sets, like their Indian Wells clash a few weeks ago; and this match will likely go over 22.5 games.

Daniil Medvedev vs Alexander Zverev Preview

Now that we’ve gotten our Medvedev vs Zverev predictions out of the way, let’s see how both players have fared so far.

Daniil Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev didn’t have too much trouble dispatching Lorenzo Sonego in straight sets yesterday. That was his seventh consecutive win, and his 26th in 27 matches. The former World number 1 will set his sights on a quarter-final spot, and he’ll fancy his chances against Zverev.

Alexander Zverev

Unlike his opponent, this will be Alexander Zverev’s third match in this tournament; he defeated Roberto Bautista Agut and Alexander Bublik in the previous two rounds. This will be a tricky fixture for the German, as he lost seven of his last eight meetings with Medvedev. Can he improve that poor record with a win today?

Daniil Medvedev vs Alexander Zverev Head to Head

Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev have clashed at least once a year for the past eight years. Including exhibitions, these players have met on 14 occasions, with Medvedev leading the head-to-head 8-6. Interestingly, these players have never met on clay; as a matter of fact, this will be their first encounter outside of hard courts. That said, these are the results of the last five skirmishes between these players:

• 14/03/23 Medvedev won 2-1 (Indian Wells, Outdoor Hard)
• 08/12/22 Medvedev won 2-0 (Diriyah Cup Exhibition, Outdoor Hard)
• 20/11/21 Zverev won 2-0 (ATP Finals, Indoor Hard)
