These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.

Marcos Giron vs Daniil Medvedev – Match Predictions

Daniil Medvedev, one of the front-runners for this Grand Slam title, will be expected to make fairly light work of his First Round opponent on Monday at the Australian Open.

Medvedev -8.5 Handicap

We can only assume that Medvedev is going to race away with this contest. It’s top ten player Medvedev taking on an unseeded opponent. It may well be all one-way traffic from the Russian in the fixture.

Given the gulf in class between them, it’s only natural to expect a comfortable victory after Medvedev was showing sharp form in Adelaide. Medvedev is completely at home on the famous blue courts.

Total Games Under 30.5

For the second Marcos Giron vs Daniil Medvedev prediction we are continuing along the lines of expecting a comfortable win for the latter. Medvedev raced through some matches in his warm-up tournament in Adelaide.

It’s not likely that Giron can do enough to break momentum to even snatch a consolation set. Medvedev can get the first set under his belt, and then rapidly pull away.

Our big Marcos Giron vs Daniil Medvedev Australian Open tennis predictions are above, but what about the current form of the two players as they make their way to the Australian Open 2023?

Marcos Giron

America’s Marcos Giron didn’t make much headway in Adelaide at the start of the month, falling in the Second Round. He was straight back in action in Auckland where he won a couple of matches before a Quarter Final loss to Britain’s Cameron Norrie. Giron is ranked 60th in the world and has lost in the First Round in each of his previous Australian Open appearances.

Daniil Medvedev

Medvedev has a big chance of landing the Australian Open title and is one of the leading contenders having reached the last two Finals. There is a potential Quarter Final place against Rafa Nadal in waiting, but Medvedev would avoid tournament favourite Djokovic until the Final. Medvedev comfortably won three matches in Adelaide at the start of the month, before losing to Djokovic in the semifinals.
