THE PREDICTION

World number three Daniil Medvedev was in control against Christopher O’Connell before his Aussie opponent managed to find his way to a set against him for the second time this season. 27-year-old Medvedev rallied well to come back from a third-set tiebreak loss to win in four sets but the result was symptomatic of his level this summer, which has been just slightly off since lifting his 20th ATP title at the Italian Open in May. 22-year-old Sebastian Baez is currently enjoying the form of his young career to bring a 12-match winning streak into this first encounter with the 2021 US Open champion.

Baez will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of around 27th after coming back from a set down against qualifier Felipe Meligeni Alves, who was forced to retire injured after the third, to back-up a remarkable straight-sets result over 27th seed Borna Coric in the first round. Baez has beaten the likes of Coric, Dominic Thiem and Jiri Lehecka to lift back-to-back ATP titles on clay and hardcourts in recent weeks but he has yet to beat a player ranked inside the top five on tour. Take Medvedev to find a way through some serious momentum here, with an outright call the sensible pick.
