LiontipsFelix Auger-Aliassime vs Daniil Medvedev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cup (January 8, 2022).
Command Analysis
Felix Auger-Aliassime lost his first match at the ATP Cup to Taylor Fritz (7-6, 4-6, 4-6), which must have been a wake up call for the Canadian athlete. In the following matches, he defeated Cameron Norrie (7-6, 6-3) and Alexander Zverev (6-4, 4-6, 6-3), knocking the German national team out of the tournament. Auger-Aliassime reliably holds his serve and therefore poses a threat to any tennis player, including the current World №2, Daniil Medvedev.
Daniil Medvedev also lost his opener at the current tournament. Ugo Humbert outplayed the Russian in three sets (7-6, 5-7, 6-7). But after that defeat, Medvedev looked his usual self and cruised to victory over Alex De Minaur in two straight sets (6-4, 6-2) before defeating Matteo Berrettini (6-2, 6-7, 6-4).
