Daniil Medvedev vs Matteo Arnaldi Prediction: Magical Medvedev the obvious favorite

The tennis world is full of terrain that brings us daily action and these professional players have their hands full with the tournaments that are spread across the globe. Anyway, the wide-spreading range of tennis action around the world means that we get to see different flavors on different courts. In this flavor of tennis, set in Dubai, Daniil Medvedev is going to take on Matteo Arnaldi.

Daniil comes into the game after defeating Andy Murray 6-4, 6-4 in the Final of the Qatar Open. This was after he had won the ATP Rotterdam title after defeating Jannik Sinner. This has helped overcome a lean Australian Open where the scintillating athlete folded in the Third Round against Sebastian Korda. All in all, despite some early exits, Daniil has been doing a great job of winning a lot of titles and that is why he is still a top-three player. A record of 70.1% win speaks for itself.

22-year-old Matteo Arnaldi didn’t get direct qualification for the Round of 32 and had to fight through a two-round Qualifiers. During the Qualifiers, Matteo defeated Tornac Machac and Simon Carr. Matteo usually appears as a Qualifier and this means that he has a long way to go enter the main stack. He has had some success against post-100 ranked players but things have been different against top-100 players.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who is the favorite. Daniil has accomplished enough to be called one of the greats of our era whereas Matteo has a long way to go before he is famous even among alert tennis fans. That’s why I see Daniil taking this in straight sets.
