Holger Rune vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction
Holger Rune came through a tough quarter-final against the in-form Tallon Griekspoor and had to come back from a set down to progress. He lost the opening set 7-5 as Griekspoor picked up where he left off but Rune came back in style winning 6-0 6-3 to win the second and third set so clinch his spot in the semis.
The Danish 21-year-old now faces another tough assignment as he meets Daniil Medvedev who is the fifth seed at Indian Wells this week.
Medvedev had his toughest match of the tournament so far as he faced Arthur Fils and that went all the way to a deciding set tie-break. Medvedev produced at the key moments and edged that tiebreak 9-7 and winning in that manner will give him good confidence.
After a walkover win over Alex Michelsen where he played just two games and then coasting against Tommy Paul, Medvedev will likely be the freshest of the final four players which could well be a major benefit to him.
Rune and Medvedev have met three times previously on the ATP Tour and it is Medvedev who leads the way 2-1 having won the last two meetings. The last meeting was at Indian Wells last year in the quarters in what is their only meeting on a hard court and the Russian won it 7-5 6-4.
We like Medvedev’s chances once again this year and feel like there are a lot of factors going in his favour ahead of this match. He gets our vote to progress to the final.
