Alejandro Davidovich Fokina - Hamad Medjedovic Key Points

  1. Hamad Medjedovic has won seven of his last nine clay-court matches.
  2. Davidovich Fokina has made a stuttering start to the season on clay, winning only two out of five matches.
  3. Hamad Medjedovic has beaten two higher-ranked players in Rome already.
  4. Last time out, Medjedovic showed his clay-court quality to beat world number 42 Popyrin in straight sets.

Our Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Hamad Medjedovic Prediction

As the much higher-ranked player Davidovich Fokina is quite a strong favourite in the early betting, but I'm not sure I can agree with that. The Spaniard looks to be priced at something like his best and he's not shown that since switching to the clay around a month ago. He's not looked too fluid and has only won two out of five matches, while he comes here having not palyed competitively in nearly two weeks. That shouldn't be ignored. In contrast, Medjedovic has played three matches in Rome, preparing nicely for this game with three straight-set wins. The young Serbian is clearly a player on the up and for my money, he's certainly better than his current ranking suggests. All things considered, he looks generously priced to get the win, so I'm betting on him to do just that at nice odds. Our Prediction: Hamad Medjedovic to Win.
