Medvedev - Mpeshi. Prediction for the ATP Dubai match

Medvedev and Mpeshi will meet in the second round of the Dubai tournament on February 26. Medvedev still looks unconvincing. In general, a Russian can lose to anyone at the moment. Will Daniel be able to withstand the pressure of Mpesha's powerful serve? - the bets for the upcoming match are in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Daniil Medvedev

Current form
Medvedev started the competition in Dubai with a victory over Jan-Lennard Struff (6-4, 7-6). Daniil scored seven aces against the German, made one break point, and did not lose a single game on his serve. The Russian has seven wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Medvedev held his serve with confidence at the best of times, but now there are serious difficulties with this. Since last year, his serve has become unstable - in one match everything works perfectly, in another it flies anywhere but into the court. What hasn't changed in Daniel's game is that he's still one of the best hosts on the tour. And despite his size, he confidently moves around the court and is able to get the ball of almost any complexity.
Current indicators in the tour
Medvedev is the sixth racket of the world, although he once led the world ranking. During his career, the Russian has won 20 ATP titles. He won his last trophy in 2023 on clay in Rome.
Interesting facts for betting
Medvedev defends last year's semi-final on the courts of Dubai.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

Current form
Mpeshi defeated Zhizhen Zhang (6-3, 7-6) in the first round of the competition in Dubai. Giovanni made 13 aces during the match, made one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Frenchman, it was his fifth win of the season with two losses.
Professional qualities
Mpeshi is a real giant on the court with a height of 203 cm. His serve is a real weapon. On average, he hits two dozen aces per match. In addition, the Frenchman has a devastating forehand, which he confidently punches through. Dubai's fast courts are perfect for his aggressive style of play. The weak point in Giovanni's game is the backhand, which is definitely not stable.
Current indicators in the tour
Mpeshi is in the 29th place in the world ranking. During his career, the Frenchman won two ATP titles. He won them last season - he won the clay tournament in Lyon and the indore competitions held in Basel.
Interesting facts for betting
Mpeshi has played ten tie-breaks in the last seven matches.

Mpesha's pitch doesn't always work as it should. This was demonstrated by his opening match against Zhang. But Medvedev is far from his best playing conditions at the moment. We believe that with equal opening chances, the Frenchman still has more chances of success - serving on the fast courts of Dubai should help him beat Daniil.
