Daniil Medvedev will take on the big-serving Reilly Opelka on Friday for a place in the 2021 French Open Round of 16.
It is uncharacteristic to see a big-serving player like Opelka playing that good on clay, but the American has scored a couple of superb victories on this surface recently. He has won six of his last eight matches on clay, including back-to-back wins over Andrej Martin and Jaume Munar here at Roland Garros. He has dropped just one set at the 2021 French Open so far and he hasn’t played a single tiebreaker.
After four opening-round defeats in his previous French Open campaigns, Medvedev has finally found some form on the Parisian clay. The Russian began his adventure here with a straight-set win over Bublik and followed that up with another impressive display against Tommy Paul (6-3,1-6,4-6,3-6). Medvedev is currently on a four-match winning streak in Third Round matches in Grand Slams.
Both players looked solid in the previous two rounds, so we expect a close contest with Over 3.5 sets at odds of 17/25 with Bet365.
