The final four players are decided for the Almaty Open semifinals, with James Duckworth and Daniil Medvedev taking to the court in the first game. Both players deservedly made it here and it would not be surprising if any were to progress. However, it's the Russian that we're backing, and you can see why we're betting on his clean sweep in this James Duckworth vs Daniil Medvedev match prediction.

We acknowledge Duckworth’s skill and tournament run, but we think it ends here, and it will be a two-set defeat at the able hands of Daniil Medvedev. Not only did Medvedev beat Duckworth in this same manner over their only past meeting, but it's been a recurrent theme in his wins and his opponent’s losses.

Medvedev has won his two tournament games in straight sets, which has now made it nine in his last ten victories, where he won in two sets. His latest was a cool 2-0 finish over Fabian Marozsan in the quarterfinals.

Then, for Duckworth, of his last seven three-set defeats, he has lost five in two sets. Although Duckworth has also been impressive with a 2-0 sweep of Flavio Cobolli in the last round, it's good to point out his vulnerability, which has seen him concede a set in nine of his last 11 singles.
