Daniil Medvedev vs Miomir Kecmanovic prediction

Medvedev at the Internazionali BNL D'Italia 2024 - Day Eight

Medvedev has struggled to stamp his authority on clay and execute his ever-reliant all-round game. With a mediocre campaign since the beginning of the clay swing, he'll be eager to find his range and work on his weaknesses.

Kecmanovic has also struggled to impress on the surface during the last few weeks. He showcased his potential on clay by reaching the finals in Estoril last year, but couldn't get over the line against Casper Ruud. If he manages to craft out a proper game plan against Medvedev, he has a good chance of causing an upset in this bout.

Ultimately, the player who recovers well and makes use of the conditions on Thursday will have the upper hand in this encounter. Kecmanovic's fiery groundstrokes and solid all-round game can pose a threat to Medvedev's resilience on the court. However, the Russian should be able to dig deep and edge past the Serb in the second round.

Pick: Medvedev to win in four sets.
