Trending
Medvedev started the year strong, reaching the Australian Open final and making a deep run at Wimbledon by reaching the semifinals. While he crashed out in the fourth round on the clay courts of Roland Garros, he has showcased great form on the hard courts as he also reached the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows.
Most recently, Medvedev competed in the China Open in Beijing, reaching the semifinals but losing out to French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets. While the 28-year-old is yet to win a title this year, he has maintained a 68% win record and displayed dominant performances on the hard courts.
On the other hand, Seyboth Wild has already featured against Dan Evans of Britain in the first round, where he was victorious in three sets. After his first-round exit at the US Open against Andrey Rublev, Seyboth Wild competed in tournaments like the Genoa AON Open Challenger, Szczecin Open, Challenger Bad Waltersdorf, AT, and the Challenger Lisbon, PT. He failed to fare further than the first rounds in all the tournaments, except reaching the final at the Challenger Bad Waltersdorf, AT, losing to Jaume Munar in straight sets.
As the Challenger Bad Waltersdorf, AT was played on clay courts, Seyboth Wild performed well, showcasing his strengths on the surface. The Brazilian too has yet to win a title in 2024, as he enters this fixture with a 46% win record, hoping to get the better of the Russian again.

Daniil Medvedev vs Thiago Seyboth Wild prediction
Medvedev has been constantly improving as a player, and there is a massive difference in his strokes now compared to a few seasons before. His accuracy and power have improved, and he has also composed himself better in under-pressure situations, making him one of the most dangerous players on the tour.
While Seyboth Wild enjoys the head-to-head advantage against him, Medvedev looks forward to avenging his Roland Garros loss and not giving much space to the Brazilian in this fixture. Medvedev's strong counterpunching style will fully display against Seyboth Wild's favorite down-the-line forehands.
Medvedev will also be stepping into this encounter with a better idea of the high competition, having played against higher-ranked players (average rank of 35) than Seyboth Wild (average rank of 115) in the last twelve months, giving him an advantage. His solid return game and competitiveness against players he has lost against make him the favorite to defeat the 24-year-old and make his way into the next round.
Pick: Daniil Medvedev in straight sets.
