LiontipsMedvedev vs. Tiafoe. Prediction and bets on the Laver Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Medvedev last took to the court in an official match in early September. Back then, we recall, he took part in the US Open, which he left in the quarterfinals, losing to Jannik Sinner. Daniil has not played indoors yet this year; on outdoor hard courts, he has 22 wins and seven losses.
Professional qualities
Medvedev is a master of defensive play, capable of wearing down opponents with long rallies. And this despite the fact that he is 198 centimeters tall. But this does not prevent the Russian from moving around the court with incredible speed and getting balls of any complexity.
Current indicators in the tour
Medvedev is currently ranked fifth in the world, although he once topped the rankings. The Russian has not won a single trophy this season, but has played in two finals - he reached the decisive match at the Australian Open and in Indian Wells.
Interesting facts for betting
Medvedev has won 51 out of 57 matches against American tennis players in his career.
Current form
Tiafoe also played his last official match at the US Open, where he managed to reach the semifinals - at this stage Francis lost to Taylor Fritz. Indoors, the American has one win and one loss this season.
Professional qualities
Tiafoe is a typical representative of the American tennis school. His tennis is most effective on hard courts. His powerful first serve and strong forehand work especially well on fast surfaces. Francis traditionally demonstrates his best tennis at home tournaments.
Current indicators in the tour
Tiafoe is currently ranked 16th in the world. Francis has not won a single trophy this season, but has played in two finals - on clay in Houston and on hard in Cincinnati.
Interesting facts for betting
Tiafoe has won just three of 21 matches in his career against opponents ranked in the top five of the world.
