Prediction for the match Medvedev – Harry
Medvedev is playing very well in 2024, but has yet to win a single trophy, although he was close to it in every tournament – just missing a little.
Daniil was one set away from winning the Australian Open, but Jannik Sinner stopped him in the final. At Indian Wells he lost to Carlos Alcaraz.
To give credit to Medvdev, he responded well to defeats and continued to show high quality tennis.
Harry will have to show his best tennis to stay tied against Medvedev. He reached the quarterfinals in Miami for the first time in his career. The Chilean’s strong serve and powerful shots helped him avoid difficult game situations in previous matches, but Medvedev is on a different level and might need something more in the quarterfinals. Medvedev should be able to withstand Harry’s early pressure and possibly take advantage of his weaknesses.
Forecast: Medvedev wins in three sets.
