Daniil Medvedev vs Adrian Mannarino prediction
Medvedev will enter the match as the favorite to win, but Mannarino should not be written off. The Frenchman's best record is on grass, winning 56 out of 94 matches so far.
Medvedev has a strong all-round game which can put a lot of pressure on Mannarino. The latter is a good server and will look to make the most out of it. However, his serve will be tested given Medvedev's good return game.
Mannarino likes to attack the ball early and hit flat groundstrokes. He will probably be doing that on Saturday as well in order to make things difficult for his opponent. The Frenchman will have to be as aggressive as he can in order to stand a chance against the World No. 2.
While Mannarino can put in a fight, Medvedev will be too much for him to handle and the Russian should be able to beat him.
Pick: Medvedev to win in straight sets.
