LiontipsAlejandro Davidovich vs Daniil Medvedev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Madrid (May 5, 2021).
Command Analysis
Last week Davidovich played quite well in Estoril, where he reached the semifinals of the tournament. Now the Spaniard will try to at least repeat that result in his home tournament.
At the start of the current competition in Madrid, Davidovich defeated the Frenchman Pierre-South Herbert, beating him in three sets, in each of which a tie-break was played (6-7, 7-6, 7-6).
Playing on clay is always a challenge for Medvedev. The Russian is yet to play on this surface this season. Daniil was announced for the Masters in Monte Carlo, however, just before the start of the tournament, Medvedev got a positive COVID-19 test, and he had to undergo a period of isolation.
Therefore, it is not very clear at the moment whether Medvedev is ready for the Madrid Open. He is definitely short on match practice, which might play a role in the upcoming fixture.

Tip and bets
Davidovich is playing at home, so he will probably try to give his best in the match against the world number 3. The Spaniard's chances of winning the match are pretty good.
Medvedev had just recently had coronavirus, and it is not clear whether he is fully recovered and what form he is in. We believe that Daniil will still be affected by either the sickness or lack of practice, and suggest betting on Davidovich.
Our prediction is Davidovich to win.
Davidovich is now in excellent form, and he definitely will be able to put up a good fight Medvedev. Moreover, Daniil just recently had coronavirus and, most likely, he will not approach the match in the best physical condition. We expect this to be a tough fight.
Second prediction - total over 22 games.
