We are in the business end of the Cincinnati Masters as only three matches are left before the champion is crowned. World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev takes on a confident Stefanos Tsitsipas in one of the semifinals.
Daniil Medvedev
The Russian tennis pro has been in scintillating form at the Cincinnati Masters. He came into the tournament on the back of a debacle at Montreal where he lost in the first round against Nick Kyrgios. However, at Cincinnati, Daniil Medvedev is yet to drop a set.
He started off with a win against Botic van de Zandschulp 6-4, 7-5. In the round of 16, he eased past Denis Shapovalov 7-5, 7-5. Medvedev had a stern test awaiting him in the quarter-final in the form of Taylor Fritz. However, a dominant display from the 2021 US Open champion meant that he won the match 7-6 (7-1), 6-3.
Stefanos Tsitsipas
The Greek tennis pro is on the hunt for his third title in 2022. He already bagged titles in Monte-Carlo and Mallorca. At the Canadian Open that preceded Cincinnati Masters, Stefanos Tsitsipas exited in the first round, much like his upcoming opponent. The 24-year-old lost in straight sets to Jack Draper.
Tsitsipas began his campaign in Cincinnati with a comfortable 6-3, 6-4 win against Filip Krajinovic. In the round of 16, he outplayed Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 6-3. In the quarter-final, Tsitsipas had to dig deep against the veteran John Isner and the youngster eventually won 7-6 (7-5), 5-7, 6-3.
Head-to-Head and Prediction
The duo has faced each other on as many as 9 occasions. The head-to-head sits at 7-2 in favor of Medvedev. He won the first five encounters between the two of them. The head-to-head in the last four matches they have played against each other is evenly poised at 2-2.
Prediction: Daniil Medvedev to win in three sets.
