LiontipsStefanos Tsitsipas vs Daniil Medvedev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Roland Garros (June 8, 2021).
Command Analysis
Tsitsipas's unbeaten streak has reached eight matches. It started at the tournament in Lyon, where the Greek celebrated a victory, beating Cameron Norrie in the final (6-3, 6-3).
At the current Roland Garros, Stefanos has lost only one set so far - in a match against John Isner (5-7, 6-3, 7-6, 6-1). Tsitsipas closed the other three matches in straight sets - Jeremy Chardi, Pedro Martinez, and Pablo Carreno Busta were all defeated by the Greek athlete.
Medvedev has already exceeded expectations at Roland Garros because hardly anyone believed in his successful performance in Paris: the Russian is known for his difficult relationship with clay courts.
Nevertheless, Daniil reached the quarterfinals of the tournament so far - to Tommy Paul (3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3). Daniil beat the rest of his opponents in straight sets - Alexander Bublik in the first round of the competition, Reilly Opelka - in the third, and Christian Garin - in the Round of 16.

Tip and bets
Medvedev is an inconvenient opponent for Tsitsipas. This is evidenced by the head-to-head, in which the Russian leads with a score of 6:1. Of course, the Greek is now in good form, he performs confidently on clay, and the bookies give the status of a favorite to him.
But we believe that Daniil has a good chance to win. The Russian has improved his clay performance a lot over the past couple of weeks.
Our prediction is Medvedev to win
The tennis players met each other seven times, and in five matches the scores were large. We believe that there will be a struggle in the upcoming meeting, too. We expect that the players will need at least four sets to sort things out.
Second prediction - total over 37 games
