Mallorca Open: Daniil Medvedev vs. Pablo Carreno Busta 6/25/21 Tennis Prediction

Top seeded Russian Daniil Medvedev will face fourth seed Pablo Carreno Busta in the Semi-Finals at the 2021 Mallorca Open. The match is scheduled to be played on Friday June 25th, 2021 at 10:00am EST.

Can Daniil Medvedev continue his fine grass court form by reaching the first Final on this surface on this career? Or can the thirteenth ranked Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta cause the upset? PCB has never had much success on this surface but has been in good form here in Mallorca. Can he reach the Final?

Daniil Medvedev is the top seed here at the 2021 Mallorca Open and is the number two player in the ATP world rankings. While the Russian has never had much success on this surface, he is peaking at the right time just before Wimbledon and is just one win away from the first grass-court Final of his career. Openly stating that he loves to play on this surface, his motivation will be very high and his game is very well suited to grass. His big serve and flat groundstrokes are huge weapons on the quicker surface, and he will be backing himself to get the win here over his opponent Pablo Carreno Busta. He was outstanding against the talented Casper Ruud in the Quarter-Finals, and will be hoping to continue his fine momentum here into the Final, and then into Wimbledon.

Pablo Carreno Busta is ranked #13 in the ATP world rankings and is the fourth seed here at the 2021 Mallorca Open. Like his opponent Daniil Medvedev, he has never reached this far in a grass event and will be seeking his first Final on this surface. While he is not truly comfortable on this surface, he is still one of the best players in the world and has been in fine form so far here in Mallorca, and is not one to give up without a fight. The Spaniard is one of the fiercest competitors on the ATP Tour, and while he is the underdog here, he will go down swinging until the end.

This match is a bit of an unknown, as neither man has much of a grass-court background to draw any information from. Since we only have recent form to go by, it is quite clear that Daniil Medvedev will win this match. He has looked dominant, and now that he is figuring out how to move on this surface he is becoming increasingly dangerous. He will be delighted to have found form so close to Wimbledon and should be expected to advance to the Final here at the 2021 Mallorca Open as he seeks his first title on grass.
