On / off

Daniil Medvedev is an oxymoron all by himself!

This season, consistency and Daniil add up to about 12. Then, when you dig even a little, it's not easy to get into a tournament in the third round against a fired‑up guy who has nothing to lose, and on top of that on the Russian's worst surface. And the Spaniard was clever, much more than Tirante who got tactically destroyed. In the Argentine’s defense, Daniil showed exceptional backhand quality. And of course, once again here we have to look at the match‑up against Landaluce. The Spaniard is more powerful than Tirante, with more linear trajectories. You can doubt him against the Medvedev wall, but you can also say that Landaluce, for his part, has the ability to make the difference from the baseline.

The Spaniard started very tense against Medjedovic. Maybe because he knew the Serb was exhausted and that he had the opportunity to win that match. Here, he’s had his tournament and it would be logical for him to lose.

So in that sense, and with the Spaniard’s slightly above‑average serve, my only option will be to go for an over on games...
