LiontipsMaxime Cressy vs Daniil Medvedev. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 Australian Open (January 24, 2022).
Command Analysis
Cressy's performance is, perhaps, the biggest sensation at the current Australian Open. Hardly anyone could have predicted that he would reach the fourth round of the competition before the start of the major. Nevertheless, the American tennis player has been excellent and defeated such difficult opponents as John Isner (7-6, 7-5, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4), Tomas Machac (6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 7- 6) and Christopher O'Connell (6-2, 6-7, 6-3, 6-2).
Medvedev has his eyes on the Grand Slam trophy. The Russian had difficulties only in the second round match against Nick Kyrgios (7-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2). In the other duels, he closed his opponents in three straight sets - first Henry Laaksonen (6-1, 6-4, 7-6), then Botic Van de Zandshulp (6-4, 6-4, 6-2). Last year, Medvedev was the runner-up at the Australian Open, and he clearly is intent to win this time.
