Daniil Medvedev vs Christopher Eubanks prediction
Eubanks was living on the edge but staged a brilliant comeback to defeat Tsitsipas. His serve helped him out a fair bit, but his count of 13 aces was low by his usual standards.
Eubanks also was a bit inconsistent during return games in the previous round, and it could prove costly against Medvedev if he doesn't improve in that aspect. As for the Russian, he was playing quite well when Lehecka was forced to throw in the towel.
Eubanks could put Medvedev in a spot of bother with his brand of tennis. He uses his one-handed backhand quite well to attack and hit winners. The Russian has been a bit passive in his matches at times but will need to be more proactive in this encounter.
Grass isn't Medvedev's strongest surface, and his scrappy play can only take him so far. However, you can't discount him because of his overall resume. He's a proven champion, and if he plays like one, he could easily make it through. However, anything less than his absolute best leaves the door open for Eubanks to continue his dream run.
Pick: Christopher Eubanks to win in four sets.
