The odds seem to favour Medvedev based on their head-to-head record and recent performance. Medvedev has won six out of their eight previous encounters.

If the match goes to a deciding set, both players have shown their ability to perform under pressure, with Medvedev winning 68% of deciding sets and Minaur winning 70% over the last year.

Considering all factors, Medvedev is the slight favorite to win this match, but Minaur’s resilience and recent form make it a close call

Result: Daniil Medvedev to win in four sets.
