Albert Ramos-Vinolas takes on Daniil Medvedev in the Round of 32 of the Astana Open. Who will progress to the next round? Here's our prediction.

Command Analysis

Albert Ramos-Vinolas

Albert Ramos-Vinolas is a clay-court specialist. This season, the Spaniard has played most matches on that surface, and won his only trophy on clay - in Cordoba, he defeated Alejandro Tabilo in the final (4-6, 6-3, 6-4). As for hard courts, Ramos-Vinolas played only ten matches on this surface in 2022 and won in four of them.

Daniil Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev is having a disappointing season. Two weeks ago, he made a first-round exit at the Metz Open following his defeat to Stan Wawrinka (6-4, 6-7, 3-6). This year, the Russian has 26 wins on hard courts against eight losses. He won only one trophy in 2022 - in Los Cabos, he celebrated success over Cameron Norrie in the final match (7-5, 6-0).

Tip and bets
Medvedev is in poor form and looked colorless in his most recent matches. However, we believe he will be able to get the upper hand in the upcoming match - Ramos-Vinolas prefers clay courts and it will be hard for him to put up a fight against Medvedev on hard.
Our prediction - handicap (-6) to Medvedev
The athletes have met before. The only match between them was quite long, but today Medvedev is the strong favorite and we expect him to close his opponent in straight sets, especially considering that Ramos-Vinolas hasn't played any matches on the indoor hard this season.
