LiontipsHenri Laaksonen vs Daniil Medvedev. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 Australian Open (January 18, 2022).
Command Analysis
Before the start of the Australian Open, Henri Laaksonen appeared at the Melbourne Summer tournament. He passed two rounds of the qualification, but was eliminated by Jaume Munar in the second round match (1-6, 5-7). Laaksonen doesn't have a great record on hard and prefers slower surfaces, so it is hard to expect great results from him here.
Daniil Medvedev was part of the Russian national team at the ATP Cup. He lost his first match at the tournament to Ugo Humbert (7-6, 5-7, 6-7), but confidently defetaed his other opponents. Medvedev celebrated success over Alex De Minaur (6-4, 6-2), Matteo Berrettini (6-2, 5-7, 6-4) and Felix Auger-Aliassime (6- 4, 6-0). Medvedev was the runner-up at the Australian Open last year, and now is one of the favourites to win the trophy.
