Australian Open: Daniil Medvedev vs. Maxime Cressy 1/24/22 Tennis Prediction

Daniil Medvedev faces Maxime Cressy in the fourth round of the 2022 Australian Open on Monday, January 24th 2022.

Will Maxime Cressy shock us all and get the biggest win of his career as he has been in form since the start of the year, or will Daniil Medvedev come out and cruise through yet another opponent?

Maxime Cressy has been in great form this year, making his way into the top 100 for the first time in his career, making his maiden ATP Final in Melbourne, and now making his maiden fourth round appearance at a grand slam here at the AO. Maxime is on a roll and he will know that this will set him up optimally for the rest of the season both financially and mentally. Maxime has a huge serve, and he can get a lot of kick against his opponents. However, when the matches turn into a long and draining rally match, he can struggle with movement.

Daniil Medvedev cruised through his third round match, beating the in form Botic van de Zandschulp with ease. Medvedev knows that he has a very solid draw and having looked at other people in this side, like Tsitsipas and he will see them struggling against what would be for him, easy opponents. Daniil is the heavy favourite for the title here, and he expects nothing less than at least an appearance in the final, so he will be determined to keep dominating.

This is going to be the first meeting between both players, and unfortunately I don’t see anything going the way of Maxime Cressy in this match. Maxime is looking to use his serve to get him through matches, but Daniil is the best returner in the game at the moment, so he can neutralise that quite easily. Adding to this, Daniil is a great server himself, meaning that he will not find any issues to hold his serves, especially with the lack of return success that Cressy has.
