Daniil Medvedev vs Sebastian Korda prediction
A gripping encounter is on the cards between Daniil Medvedev and Sebastian Korda in the third round of the Madrid Open. Both players will be eager to make a significant impact in the Masters 1000 event.
Medvedev has been one of the most consistent players on tour this year. He has an ordinary record on clay but raised his level last year by clinching the 2023 Italian Open. The Russian is known for his steady all-around game, flat groundstrokes off both wings and high tactical acumen on the court.
Korda, on the contrary, is struggling to find his best form this year. Despite having a formidable all-around game, he's struggled to challenge higher-ranked opponents in 2024. The American is known for his excellent technique and quick decision-making skills on the court.
Ultimately, the player who recovers well and holds their nerve during crucial moments will have the upper hand in this bout. Considering their recent results and record at Masters 1000 events, Medvedev should be able to solve this riddle and advance to the next round.
Pick: Medvedev to win in three sets.
