Daniil Medvedev vs Alexei Popyrin Tips

Alexei Popyrin was the surprise winner of this tournament last year, but he has lost 4 of his 5 meetings with Daniil Medvedev. This could be the end of his hold on the tournament.

Medvedev is currently playing some of the worst tennis of his career and seems unable to find his form or get good results. I know Popyrin isn’t in top shape either, but given the odds and the current situation, I’m willing to take my chances with Alexei.

Medvedev is playing his worst tennis right now. He just can’t seem to find his level or get any decent results. Popyrin isn’t in great shape either, but with the way things are going and the odds available, I’m taking a shot on Alexei to edge this one 2-1 in a tight match.

Popyrin has won one of his last two encounters with Medvedev. Popyrin is coming off a 2-0 win over Arseneault in the second round. Medvedev has suffered three defeats in his last six matches, including a 2-0 loss to Bublik.

I will try this option at these very attractive odds.
