Daniil Medvedev vs Sebastian Baez Prediction: Daniel will advance to the next round

In the U.S. Open Tennis Championships, world No. 3 Russian Daniil Medvedev will face No. 32 in the world rankings, Argentine Sebastian Baez. The guys have not crossed paths with each other before, and Daniil is listed as a very big favorite in the pairing and the odds on Medvedev's victory continue to drop.

We thought Medvedev would beat O'Conell of Australia in three games, but Christopher still managed to take a set from the world number three, the third game on a tie-break. In general, we can't say that Medvedev had any problems achieving a positive result in the round of 64 because Medvedev won all three sets with the same score of 6:2. The match lasted three hours and 4 minutes. During the game, Daniil served 12 times with ten double faults and won 81% of points on the first serve and 54% on the second. It should be noted that Medvedev had a lot of faults in the game despite the confident victory.

Baez came to New York with a 10-match winning streak. Before the Grand Slam, Sebastian won a clay and hard-court tournament in Winston-Salem. At the Majors, the Argentine has wins over Croatian Cioric in three games and Brazilian Meligeni Rodrigues. However, the match against the Brazilian was not finished, Felipe withdrew from the match and the tournament after the defeat in the third set with a score of 4:6. Overall, during the incomplete game against Meligeni, Baez served four times with one double fault, won 67% of points on the first serve and 64% on the second.

Baez had a great showing before the Grand Slam in New York and at the Majors. Overall, the Argentine has a 12-match winning streak at three tournaments. Medvedev has not yet reached his level of play; before the Grand Slam, Daniil had problems at the Masters in Toronto and Ohio; here in New York, he lost a set to a far-from-top Australian. We believe that the upcoming match will not be very fast-paced, but we do not doubt that Daniel will make it to the fourth round of the competition.
