Medvedev Hoping To Repeat 2019 US Open Form
The 2019 hard court season was a memorable one for Russian Next Gen Daniil Medvedev, with the highlights being appearing in six finals, being a US Open finalist and winning Masters 1000 titles at Cincinnati and Shanghai. Medvedev reached a career high ranking of world number four after the US Open as well.
Although his showing at the year-end ATP Finals in London was off color, Medvedev came into the 2020 season with immense promise. The first two months of the season had glimpses of the Medvedev of 2019, but was marred by unexpected losses, both during the Australian Open and the indoor tournaments during February.
The 24-year-old Russian got off to a confident start at the Western & Southern Open ATP Masters 1000 this week, and looked in control of his quarter-final match against Roberto Bautista-Agut, until a drop in concentration resulted in a tight tussle and a close loss for Medvedev. The number three seed at the US Open will be looking for a better showing at the US Open.

Can Veteran Delbonis Challenge Medvedev?
Argentine Federico Delbonis has been on the tour for most of the last decade and was ranked as high as number 33 in the world in 2016. He is currently ranked just within the top 80 of the ATP world rankings.
A left hander, Delbonis, was successful on the ATP Challenger & ITF Futures tours, before joining the professional ATP tour. He won two ATP titles, in 2016, both on the slower clay surfaces. Delbonis, known for his ability to grind on the slower courts, has troubled many higher ranked players from the baseline during his career.
The last season and a half have not been one of note for the Argentine, who failed to get past the qualifiers this week at the Western & Southern Masters. Delbonis will be looking for a good start to the US Open next week as he hopes to regain confidence and revive his career.
Daniil Medvedev v Federico Delbonis- Prediction & Tip
The first meeting between these players at different stages of their careers is a contrast of many sorts. While Delbonis has the skills and playing style to trouble many a top ranked player, a lot will depend on Medvedev’s form.
Despite a quarter-final loss, Medvedev has looked in good touch at the Western & Southern Open, and a return to his 2019 hard court form will make him difficult to beat at the US Open.
Expect a straight sets win for Medvedev.
