Daniil Medvedev vs Thiago Seyboth prediction
Medvedev will enter the match as the overwhelming favorite to win, considering his recent performances on clay.
The Russian served 29 aces from his four matches at last year's French Open and will look to serve as many of those as he can against Seyboth Wild. His counterpunching skills, baseline game and consistent groundstrokes will come in handy.
Seyboth Wild, meanwhile, will have to be at his absolute best if he is to stand a chance against Medvedev. The Brazilian hit 97 winners compared to 44 unforced errors during the French Open qualifiers and while the latter tally was significantly lower than the former, he cannot afford to leak too many errors.
Seyboth Wild also has a decent serve that produced 17 aces during the qualifying rounds. He will look to fetch as many free points as possible if he is to remain toe-to-toe with the Russian.
Overall, Medvedev has been in terrific form lately and should have little trouble getting the better of the Brazilian.
Pick: Medvedev to win in straight sets.
