LiontipsSumit Nagal vs Daniil Medvedev. Prediction and Betting Tips for Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (July 26, 2021).
Command Analysis
Nagal was lucky with his first opponent at the Olympic tournament. In the first round, he played against Denis Istomin, and the representative of Uzbekistan couldn't fight off the Indian tennis player. As a result, Sumit celebrated the victory with a score of 6-4, 6-7, 6-4. We should point out, that the victory over Istomin was Nagal's first win on hard this season. He normally doesn't like playing on fast surfaces. Sumit prefers clay, on which he won 18 matches in 2021.
Medvedev came to Tokyo to win the gold. At least that's what he stated in his interviews. But the first match at the Olympics was not so easy for him. Alexander Bublik put up a tough fight, and Daniil won the second set on a tie-break (6-4, 7-6). The Russian played 16 matches on hard this season and won 14 of them. Medvedev lost only to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final and to Roberto Bautista Agut in the Miami Open quarterfinal.
