Andrey Rublev vs Hamad Medjedovic Prediction & Picks - ATP Barcelona

Prediction published on 4/18/26, 4:23 AM  by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 4/20/26 at 9:50 AM in Tennis Picks

The ATP action in the Catalan city of Barcelona starts to get rather serious on Saturday. It's semi-finals time. First up, there's a match between Andrey Rublev and Hamad Medjedovic. This is a big match for both players, with the Russian looking to reach his first final since early 2025. The Serbian, on the other hand, is bidding to reach a second final since clinching the title in Naples last month. However, that was at Challenger level, and this is clearly tougher. 

Medjedovic, despite being ranked at 88 in the world, has played very well this week, and he must be respected, but it looks as if the early market is overestimating his chances ahead of a match like this. Rublev is very strong on clay against players ranked outside of the top 50, not losing to such an opponent for nearly two years on this surface. In other words, the Russian is worth betting on to win at what looks a slightly generous price.
