Thiago Seyboth Wild vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction: Strong win by the ATP Rome champion

A fortunate first draw for the strongest Russian in the circuit since Kafelnikov retired from it. He came right after winning Rome, a tournament he had never played on clay, which isn’t his best surface. This gives him confidence, and he could upset a few here by reaching the final stages of Roland Garros.

Daniil Medvedev, nr. 2 of the ATP ranking just won the ATP 1000 in Rome on clay and he has to be amongst the favorites to win the title even here, where the surface isn’t his favorite. He beat Rune in the final in Rome and sprung a surprise by the rhythm he could impose to the game. Here against a qualifier, he should close the match within 3 sets and in less than 2 hours. Take him as a player to reach the semifinals if you want.

A brazilian player has not been in the main tournaments since Gustavo Kuerten in Paris and this should be already a pride for his nation. He is actually nr. 106 in the ATP and beat the more experienced Berankis and Koepfer in the qualifying rounds this week. He could come short vs Medvedev as the gap in the quality is still huge however with a beat of luck he might be able to snatch a set out of the Russian.

Coming from Rome with a win will increase the chances of Medvedev to play against the best players in the final stages of the Roland Garros. Here against a player coming through the qualifying stages he should have an easy life and win with 3 sets and a low number of games.
