Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction

Felix Auger-Aliassime received a welcome bye in the round of 16 as opponent Hamad Medjedovic withdrew so the Canadian will be fresh coming into this clash with Daniil Medvedev.

Given how well he has played so far in 2025 winning a couple of titles, a bye will likely have been welcomed by the Canadian who has played 14 matches already in 2025.

He will have to be at his best as he takes on Medvedev here especially given the fact he has only ever beaten him once in their eight previous meetings. Medvedev won the first seven matches but Auger-Aliassime won the last meeting at the Paris Olympics on clay.

Medvedev has been very up and down so far in 2025 but he produced an excellent display to beat the in-form Zizou Bergs 6-2 6-1 on Wednesday. That win will give him good belief which has been lacking of late and his previous record against Auger-Aliassime will surely fill him with confidence.

We lean with Medvedev to get the win here. There are several key factors in his favour and following his strong display on Wednesday, we like him in this form to eliminate the Canadian.
