Wawrinka is Medvedev. Forecast for the ATP Rotterdam match
Wawrinka and Medvedev will meet in the first round of the Rotterdam tournament on February 3. The start of the season turned out to be unsuccessful for Medvedev. The second round of the Australian Open is hardly what the Russian was hoping for. What will his performance in Rotterdam be like? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Stan Wawrinka

Current form
Wawrinka has played only two matches in the new season. Following the results of the first round, he left the Australian Open, losing to Lorenzo Sonego. And in the first round last week, Stan lost at the indore competition in Montpellier, where he lost to Arthur Cazaux.
Professional qualities
Wawrinka is one of the most technical tennis players on the tour, the owner of one of the best one–handed backhands in history. It was this shot that helped him win three Grand Slam titles. However, age takes its toll: at the end of March, the Swiss will turn 40 years old, and his physical fitness no longer allows him to consistently withstand protracted fights. If Stan doesn't take the first set, a comeback becomes almost impossible.
Current indicators in the tour
Wawrinka is currently ranked 154th in the world, although he was once the third in the world. Stan won his last title in 2020 on the clay courts of Prague. During his career, the Swiss has a total of 23 trophies, 16 of which are in the ATP category.
Interesting facts for betting
Wawrinka's losing streak totals four matches.

Daniil Medvedev

Current form
In the new season, Medvedev played only at the Australian Open, where, we recall, he had to defend last year's final. Nevertheless, this year Daniil left the Australian major after the second round, losing to Lerner Tien.
Professional qualities
Medvedev was considered the most reliable player on the back line a few years ago, but his dominance is gradually weakening. What is the reason? Firstly, the new, heavier balls introduced the season before last do not allow him to control the game as confidently. Secondly, the Russian's serve has seriously sagged: if double mistakes were rare before, now the percentage of first-serve entries has noticeably decreased, which negatively affects the results.
Current indicators in the tour
In the world ranking, Medvedev is in seventh place. Last season turned out to be a trophy-free season for the Russian. Daniil won his last title in 2023, winning the clay Masters in Rome.
Interesting facts for betting
Last season at Indore, Medvedev had just one win in seven matches.
