Daniil Medvedev vs Ilya Ivashka Prediction: Meddy to Keep Pace

Prediction for the ATP Indian Wells match, which will take place on March 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Daniil Medvedev

Daniil last failed on January 20 at the AO to Sebastian Korda. Since then, Medvedev has won three tournaments: Rotterdam, Doha, and Dubai. After the last one, he moved to sixth place in the ATP rankings and reclaimed his number-one spot in the country. He will now try to retain his title, so he must play better than Rublev at Indian Wells and secure the sixth ATP position. Medvedev began his tournament in California with a comfortable win over Nakashima. The match lasted an hour and 27 minutes, 6-4, 6-3 in favor of Meddy. Daniil made six aces and two double faults, winning 73% of points on the first serve and 70% on the second serve, an excellent result. Reception statistics: 34%/71%.

Ilya Ivashka

Before Indian Wells, Ivashka had a long, nine-match losing streak. Before that, he had gone winless since October 11, the match against Lopez. Ilya already has two wins in California. First, he knocked out Roman Safiullin, then Botic van de Zandschulp. That match lasted one hour and 51 minutes and ended with the score 7:5, 3:2. The match was not finished as Botik withdrew, citing an injury. Ilja's stats in that match: 2/2 aces/double faults, 66%/58% reception wins, 36%/54% serve wins, 19/15 winners/unforced errors.

Expert Betting Tips

Medvedev performed well in his first match at Indian Wells, eager to continue in the same vein. Ivashka is a comfortable opponent for Medvedev, as the H2H statistics show. Daniil is also entirely motivated. He has to play better than Rublev in California. Given the competition in the early rounds, it is essential not to waste energy and beat the opponents quickly. That was exactly what Medvedev did in his match against Nakashima. We expect another very confident win from him at the Masters.
