Rogers Cup: Daniil Medvedev vs. John Isner 8/14/21 Tennis Prediction

John Isner vs Daniil Medvedev
August 14, 2021 8:00 pm EDT

Daniil Medvedev meets John Isner in the semi final of the 2021 Rogers Cup on Sunday, August 14th 2021. Who will make their way to the final?

Will we see a huge serving matchup here as both players have great serves and can definitely get into tiebreaks without having many issues during games, or will we see the return game of Medvedev come into play here as he aims to get himself into yet another final?

John Isner has been in great form all week, winning all of his matches in great form against some very good opponents which most people thought he would not succeed against. John Isner will be very happy with the fact that even when his first serve was not getting in as much as he would have liked, his second serve came in clutch. However, both serves will be put under high pressures all match because his opponent Medvedev can return anything and everything as he has one of the most consistent return games on the ATP Tour.

Daniil Medvedev had a very long match in the quarter finals, coming back from a set down against the in form Hubert Hurkacz who had also beaten Medvedev just over a month ago at Wimbledon. Daniil Medvedev is definitely showing us that he is getting himself back into his best form as he loves to play on hard court conditions. Daniil is very hard to beat in these conditions because he can hit huge serves and his backhand flies through the court at extremely high speeds which puts his opponents under pressure.

This is going to be the 2nd meeting between both players, with Medvedev having won their prior encounter quite easily in 2020 in similar conditions. I expect the same story here because Isner is good on his serve, but Medvedev is nearly as good and 100x better on his return game which allows him to wear down the American as he gets himself in the final in Toronto and gets himself in his best shape prior to both the cincinatti masters next week and the US Open at the end of the month.
