We're starting to reach the business end of the ATP event in Rome, where on Thursday, Martin Landaluce will be looking to achieve a career-best effort by reaching his first ever final of a Masters event. To do that, the young Spaniard will need to beat the vastly experienced Daniil Medvedev, who knows all about going deep at the biggest tournaments.
On paper, this looks like a great opportunity for Medvedev to reach the final four, but tennis isn't played on paper, and right now, Landaluce is arguably operating at a better clay-court level than the Russian, who has done anything but make light work of beating lower-ranked players in recent weeks, so much so that we should not be surprised if the 20-year-old causes a bit of an upset here by seriously pushing his Grand Slam winning opponent.

Our Martin Landaluce vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction
Naturally, a quick glance at the rankings, makes us think that Daniil Medvedev should win this match easy, as does a quick look at the early odds, but let's face it, the Russian hasn't been at his sparkling best on clay in recent weeks, beating very few of his recent opponents in straight sets. At the same time, the young and improving Martin Landaluce has been playing very well, especially in Rome, where he seems to be suited by the slower conditions.
Given what we've seen from both in recent weeks, especially in Rome, the Spaniard is worth betting on to avoid a straight-set defeat.
