Daniil Medvedev vs Arthur Rinderknech Prediction: Another defeat at the hands of World No.1

After the expected knockout of Kozlov, Daniil Medvedev will face Frenchman Rinderknech, the 58th-ranked player in the world, at the US Open. The two men have not yet crossed paths on tour, but bookmakers have little doubt Daniil will win.

As we predicted, Daniil had no problems going through Stefan Kozlov, the world No. 111. The match between Daniil and Stefan lasted two hours, 6-2, 6-4, 6-0, the world No. 1 winning handily. He had ten aces with three double faults, 76% of points won on the first serve and 61% on the second. On the receiving end, 52%/72%, 40-20 winners/unforced errors probably pleased Medvedev's fans the most. If Daniil plays his second-round match at the same level, the Frenchman has very little chance of final success.

"Before Kyrgios, Medvedev has a fairly friendly grid, up to and including the third round. And after that, you have to watch. We'll see how physically demanding the matches will be in the middle of the week. I think physical condition comes first in the second week."

We do not often predict the matches involving the Frenchman. However, Arthur played in the Challenger final in Vancouver on August 22, losing to his compatriot Lestienne in three sets. In the first round, Arthur was lucky to play against another Frenchman, 76th-ranked player, Quentin Halys. The match lasted three hours and 10 minutes, four sets with Arthur losing the first 4-6. The second set seemed to be the turning point in the game: Arthur won on the tie-break and had no problems with Halys after that

We doubt that the Frenchman is capable of giving a real fight to Daniil Medvedev. The first-ranked player came to New York to defend his title, and Daniil will face Nick Kyrgios in the round of 16. And he lost to him in Montreal not so long ago, a real showdown which Medvedev will have to come to very fresh. On the contrary, he will do everything he can to win the second round of the American major as fast and as confident as possible. Here are the betting options for the game:
