Medvedev is an Erber. Prediction for the ATP Marseille match
Medvedev and Herber will meet in the second round of the tournament in Marseille on February 13. Medvedev has not shown outstanding form at the start of the season. However, it is worth noting that he had already won in Marseille earlier in his career. Perhaps the Russian will be able to win the title on the local courts this year? - the bets for the upcoming match are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Daniil Medvedev

Current form
Medvedev has two early departures in the new season. Following the results of the second round, he left the Australian Open. And last week's competition in Rotterdam ended in the second round for him. Daniel scored only one win in seven matches at Indore last season.
Professional qualities
Medvedev has a great first serve in his arsenal, but his second serve is often unstable. This is a problem for Daniel, especially when facing powerful tennis players. The Russian feels good on the back line, despite his height. At his best, he is able to get even the most difficult balls.
Current indicators in the tour
Medvedev is a former world number one. Daniil is currently ranked eighth in the world rankings. During his career, the Russian has won 26 trophies, 20 of which are in the ATP category. He won his last title at the clay Masters in Rome in 2023.
Interesting facts for betting
Medvedev won the title on the courts of Marseille four years ago.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert

Current form
Herber beat his compatriot Harold Maillot in the first round of the tournament in Marseille (2-6, 7-5, 6-3). Pierre-Yug scored 16 aces, made three break points, and lost three games on his serve. The Frenchman has seven wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Erber's main weapon is pitching. The Frenchman's career is gradually coming to an end and with the current style of play, he is unlikely to be able to rise above his current positions. His serve is at a decent level, but there are almost no strong backhands. There are few sharp decisions in his game. Despite the good movement, Pierre-Yug still suffers in fast draws with more powerful or aggressive opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Erber was once in the top 50 of the world ranking and ranked 36th. However, he is currently in the 192nd position. The 33-year-old Frenchman has won 11 trophies in his career. Last season, he won the title at the Indore challenger in Kemper.
Interesting facts for betting
5 of Herber's last 6 matches have been played in three sets.

1.43Tip and bets
Taking into account the qualification, Herber has already played three matches in Marseille. So he managed to get used to the local coverage. Medvedev still has to do this. And given the Russian's poor form at the start of the season, we don't think Pierre-Yug will lose much to Daniil.
Our prediction is that Erber will win with a handicap of (+5) games for a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the total
The last face-to-face match between Medvedev and Erber was played at Indore in 2021. Then the match stretched into three sets and a tie-break was played in the second game. We expect a fight in the upcoming match between the tennis players.
The second forecast is a total of more than 21 games for a coefficient of 1.91
Bet on the first set
In three of Herber's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming duel against Medvedev will also begin with the "grassroots" first game.
The forecast is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.84
