LiontipsTien vs Medvedev. Australian Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Tien beat Camilo Hugo Carabelli in the first round of the Australian Open (4-6, 7-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4). Lerner served seven aces, converted seven break points and lost seven games on his serve against the Argentine. The American has four wins and one loss on open hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Tien is an attacking player who prefers to play on hard courts, where he feels most confident. Although Lerner is not very tall, his first serve can reach speeds of over 200 km/h, which makes him dangerous at the start of a rally. He moves quickly around the court, which allows him to effectively maintain an aggressive style of play. Lerner agility and good reaction give him an advantage when quickly switching from defense to attack.

Tien is ranked 121st in the world. The 19-year-old American has ten career trophies to his credit, the most recent of which he won last year at the Fairfield Open Hard Court.

Medvedev started the Australian Open with a hard-fought win over Kasidit Samray (6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2). Daniil hit 24 aces, converted six break points and lost two games on his serve. It should be noted that this was the Russian first match of the new season.
Professional qualities
Medvedev is one of the most versatile players on tour, with a great balance between defense and attack. He can adapt to any conditions, making it extremely difficult to break the Russian without powerful shots. At his best, Daniil makes almost no mistakes in rallies on the baseline, making him very difficult to beat.

1.72Tip and bets
The start in Melbourne was difficult for Medvedev - he could well have lost in the confrontation with the 418th racket of the world Samrey. Nevertheless, Daniil found the strength to turn the tide of the match. It will hardly be easier for the Russian against Tien, but we hope that he learned his lesson from the first round and will play more concentrated against the American.
Our prediction is Medvedev victory with a handicap of (-6) games at odds of 1.77
Bet on total
Medvedev played five sets with Samrey in the first round. Tien is no worse than Kasidit, and therefore, most likely, Daniil is in for another long day of trouble.
The second betting tip is total over 34 games with odds of 1.85
Bet on the first set
In three of Medvedev last five matches, the first set was played with fewer than 9.5 games. We believe that the upcoming meeting with Tien will also start with a low first set.
