Daniil Medvedev and Nikoloz Basilashvili never played against each other before.
Prediction
The top seed, Daniil Medvedev, will play the 93rd-ranked player in the world, Nikoloz Basilashvili, in the opening round of the Vienna Open on Tuesday.
Medvedev, who had an awesome start of the 2022 tennis season where he reached the final of the Australian Open and played an intense game against Rafael Nadal, missed two weeks of preparation following the competition in Astana when he got hurt and had to withdraw from the match against Djokovic.
After fully recovering, Daniil is currently regarded as one of the tournament favourites in Vienna. Prior to playing Djokovic in Astana, Daniil did well against Ramos, Ruusuvuori, and Bautista Agut, winning all three matches in two sets. Medvedev must win the Vienna competition in order to participate in Italy and make it to the final event there. The Russian is thus extremely driven and devoid of illusions.
On the other hand, the Georgian’s current form is uncertain, thus making predictions is quite tricky. Only three games were played in September, two in Metz against Bergs and Rinderknech and one in Sofia, when he was defeated in two games by Verdasco. He skipped important matches in October. Nikoloz, a player who was previously ranked in the top 20, suffered eight losses and one win in his nine most recent matches against Bergs in Metz. In Vienna, his unlucky streak will continue.
Medvedev uses a variety of game strategies in his matches, including serve-and-volley, aggressive baseline play, counterpunching, and pushing. He will start as the clear favourite. The Russian’s tendency to change up his tactics frequently causes problems for his opponents. He is adept at attacking from any position on the court, which gives him a distinct advantage in his games.
While, Basilashvili strives to strike the ball as cleanly as possible. He enjoys playing flawlessly and stringing together effective shot sequences. Additionally, he has a knack for chasing down every ball, which could work in his favour throughout this game.
Medvedev should be the favourite to win Vienna and advance to the next round despite his injury problems.
