Albert Ramos vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction: the Opponents Won't Reach the Total Over

The world number four, Daniil Medvedev will play in the first round in Astana against ATP No. 40, Albert Ramos. They have only played each other once, in April 2019 in Barcelona, and that match was won in three sets by Daniil Medvedev. He is the favorite in the match.

After the U.S. Open and one match in the Davis Cup against Pierre, which the Spaniard won 2:1, Albert decided to return to the clay surface and played three matches in Genoa. In Italy the Spaniard outplayed Krumich and Vavasori, but lost to Pellegrino. Note that Albert is a clay courter and playing indoor on hard surface is not his strong side.

Medvedev's losing streak continued after the U.S. Open. At the tournament in Metz, No.4 failed in the first match to Wawrinka in three sets. We'll see how Daniil performs in Astana, but the former world number one must play well. Recall that Medvedev has not solved the task of getting to the Final Tournament yet, and there are enough direct competitors in Astana. If Medvedev fails again, he could lose the initiative, which he still possesses in relation to Rublev, Djokovic, Auger-Aliassime, Hurkacz and others.

The season is approaching the finish line, in Daniil Medvedev has not yet booked a ticket to the final tournament. Astana is important because those who want to play in London come to Kazakhstan. So it is essential to earn points and not let their opponents do so. The failure in Metz should motivate Medvedev for the upcoming match and the tournament as a whole. We think the fourth-ranked player has a good chance of beating the Spaniard in the first round.
