Medvedev vs. Fritz. ATP Finals Match Prediction

Medvedev and Fritz will meet in the first round of the ATP Finals on November 10. Despite the recent failures of both tennis players, Medvedev has a clear advantage on indoor courts. His extensive experience of playing indoors and eight titles at indoor tournaments speak for themselves. Unlike Fritz, the Russian feels more confident on this surface and is certainly motivated to finish the season on a high note. How successful will Daniil start be in Turin? - bets on this match are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Daniil Medvedev

Current form
Medvedev has not won a single match in four matches played on indoor hard courts this season. The Russian left the recent Masters in Paris following the opening match, losing to Alexei Popyrin in three sets.
Professional qualities
Medvedev is famous for his excellent reception and reliability in rallies from the baseline. Consistently receiving the ball into the court, he masterfully conducts exchanges in long rallies. The greatest threat to opponents is his two-handed backhand, with which he confidently directs the ball to any point on the court from the left flank. Breaking through Daniil defense on the baseline is a serious task for any opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Medvedev is the only tennis player at the final tournament who has not won a single trophy this season. However, it is difficult to call the season bad for the Russian. This year, Daniil played in the final of the Australian Open and in Indian Wells, and reached the semifinals at Wimbledon. Medvedev is currently ranked fourth in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Medvedev indoor statistics this season are four losses in four matches.

Taylor Fritz

Current form
The last tournament Fritz took part in was the Masters in Paris. In that competition, the American was unable to cope with Jack Draper in the opening match, losing in three sets. Taylor has only one win in three matches indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Fritz, like many Americans, emphasizes an attacking style. He has a good first serve, and powerful shots from the baseline allow him to dominate rallies. His forehand remains his most stable and effective, but his two-handed backhand can also cause problems for opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Fritz has two titles under his belt this season - he won in Delray Beach on hard and won on grass in Eastbourne. In addition, Taylor reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and also played in the final of the home US Open. The American is currently in sixth place in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Seven of Fritz last nine matches have ended in straight sets.

2.41Tip and bets
Medvedev has not won a single indoor match this season. So it is unlikely that the Russian will perform well at the final tournament. We believe that Daniil will lose to Fritz in the upcoming match - the last two head-to-head matches between the tennis players, as a reminder, were won by the American.
Our prediction is Fritz victory with odds of 2.28
Bet on total
In terms of playing level, both Medvedev and Fritz are roughly equal at the moment, so we expect that the opening match in Turin with their participation will be protracted and stretch over three sets.
The second forecast is total over 23 games for odds of 1.81
Bet on the first set
Three of Fritz last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. Expect Taylor vs. Medvedev to start with a low-scoring first set as well.
Forecast - total under 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.99
