On May 31, Medvedev will take on Bublik in the first round of Roland Garros. What to expect from this matchup? Read our prediction to find the answer.

Command Analysis

Alexander Bublik

Bublik has been fun to watch in the current season. He has done a huge amount of work in the offseason, and now Alexander can compete with any opponent on equal terms.
In general, this year Bublik is performing well on clay, given that he prefers fast courts. The representative of Kazakhstan has earned four wins in nine games on clay this season. In early May, Bublik even played in the quarterfinal of the Masters in Madrid.

Daniil Medvedev

Medvedevhas claimed multiple times that he doesn't enjoy playing on clay. The Russian definitely lacks consistency on this surface. During this season Daniil scored only one victory out of three matches on clay.
So we do not think that Medvedev can count on success at Roland Garros, but Daniil's half of the tournament grid doesn't look too hard, and he can cruise through the first few rounds at the French Open.

Tip and bets
Medvedev does not really shine on clay courts. On this surface, Daniil lacks stability. In the current season, the Russian won only one out of three matches on clay.
Although it is worth noting that in the head-to-head, Medvedev is leading with a score of 2-0. We believe it is worth betting on Daniel's victory again, even though clay is not his favourite surface.
Our prediction is Medvedev to win with a handicap (-4) games.
Medvedev struggles to play on clay, so it is hard to predict how any of Daniel's matches on this surface could go. Because the Russian player has already beaten Bublik in straight sets, we expect a confident win from Medvedev today.
Second prediction - total under 37 games.
