LiontipsDaniil Medvedev vs Diego Schwartzman. Prediction for Laver Cup (September 26, 2021).
Command Analysis
Medvedev was off to a good start in Boston. He won his first match in two straight sets, losing only four games against Denis Shapovalov (6-4, 6-0). The Russian tennis player has a winning streak of eight matches. At the beginning of September, Medvedev won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open, defeating Novak Djokovic in the final (6-4, 6-4, 6-4).
Schwartzman went against Andrei Rublev in his first match at the Laver Cup. This was an amazing performance from both opponents. Rublev won in three sets with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 11-9. Schwartzman is in good shape, but we doubt he will be able to help his team at this tournament, as he looks a bit weaker against the other contenders.
