THE PREDICTION
World number two Daniil Medvedev looks tuned in to this Tokyo 2020 campaign after a tough first round win over Alexander Bublik in straight sets. The Russian is out of the Doubles now which leaves him fully focused on the task at hand and the 25-year-old is probably the best player on a hard court on tour not called Novak Djokovic. He sprung to prominence in 2019 with an incredible run of finals and tournament wins starting around this time of year and if he can gather steam this week we could be in for an epic final match-up against world number one Djokovic. World number 160 Sumit Nagal has done India proud by beating Denis Istomin in three sets in the first round but realistically this is almost certainly the end of his Olympics run. Take Medvedev to win this first meeting between the two in comfortable straight sets.
