Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-3.5) for Medvedev – 1.82.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 22 – 1.89.
Medvedev is approaching the final in full strength. We believe that Daniil is more motivated than ever, having lost his last five finals. It’s time to break that streak. Especially as he has beaten Norrie before.
The only head-to-head encounter between the two players ended in two sets. In that game, Medvedev only gave Norrie four games in the match. We expect to see a similar scenario in the upcoming match.
Medvedev reached the final for the fourth time of the season. That will keep him at the top of the rankings at least until the end of the Cincinnati Masters.
In the semi-finals, Daniil defeated Miomir Kecmanovic (7-6, 6-1). In the first set, Daniil was trailing 1-4 but eventually won the game on a tie-break. It was the first stressful situation for him at the current tournament.
In the second set, his opponent put up little resistance, taking only one game. Medvedev quietly won the games on his serve and was winning on the receiving end.
In earlier rounds, Medvedev had beaten Rinky Hijikata (6-4, 6-3) and Ricardas Berankis (6-2, 6-2).
Medvedev has eight wins in his last ten matches against lower-ranked opponents.
Norrie, meanwhile, reached his 10th final since last May. Cameron had previously taken four titles.
In the semi-finals, Cameron defeated Felix Auger Aliassime (6-4, 3-6, 6-3). It was his fifth win over a top-10 opponent. On 24 other occasions, he lost to a top ten player.
Norrie pressured Felix in the third set, converting one of two break points.
Before that, Norrie had confidently dealt with Tseng Chun-Hsin (6-3, 6-0) and Radu Albot (6-3, 7-6).
Norrie has won just one of his last ten meetings with the top 10.
In 4 of Medvedev’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.91.
