Daniil Medvedev vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction: Betting on Stefanos' third consecutive win over Medvedev

In the Rome Masters semi-final, world number three Daniil Medvedev will meet Stefanos Tsitsipas, the ATP number five. The guys have played each other many times, and Medvedev has a noticeable advantage in their head-to-head encounters. However, it should be noted that the Greek won the last two head-to-head encounters, and he is currently the favorite.

Medvedev's run to the semi-finals of the Masters on clay is already a great result, as we all know that clay is not the Russian's favorite surface. In Rome, Daniil was stronger against Ruusuvuori, Zapata Miralles, Zverev and Hanfmann. The match against Yannick was quick; Medvedev won 6-2, 6-2 in an hour and 22 minutes.

Tsitsipas had already defeated one uncomfortable opponent at the Rome Masters, Borna Coric, in two games 6-3, 6-4 in one hour and 37 minutes. Tsitsipas served three times on four double faults, won 90% of points on his first serve and 52% on his second. Before beating Coric, Tsitsipas knocked Borges, Sonego and Musetti out.

7-4 in favor of Medvedev, that's the current score of the confrontation between Daniil and Stefanos. However, the last two head-to-head encounters were with the Greek. On the clay, the boys have crossed paths twice. Medvedev celebrated victory in Monte Carlo in 2019, and Tsitsipas, two years later, at the French Open.

Stefanos Tsitsipas looks more interesting than his future opponent on a clay surface, so the line-up for the game is good. Stefanos has not lost a single set in Rome, though he has been up against tough opponents like Musetti and Coric. Tsitsipas beat Medvedev in his last two sets and a last-set clash on the French Open, 3-0.

• W2 for 1.65;
• Correct score 0:2 for 2.64.
