Daniil Medvedev vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo prediction

Daniil Medvedev will be wary of the threat posed by Argentine underdog Juan Manuel Cerundolo. 

The South American raised a few eyebrows with his convincing 7-6 6-4 win over last year’s finalist Felix Auger-Allassime to make it four straight wins - including qualifying - in the Spanish capital. 

Indeed, the world number 126 is battle-ready and fully tuned to the Madrid courts while Medvedev has yet to feature following Laslo Djere’s withdrawal in the second round. 

The Russian ninth seed frequently vents his frustration at playing on this surface but has achieved better results in recent years and should still have too much consistency and quality from the baseline for the heavy underdog, who does have some nice clay-court craft.
