Australian Open: Daniil Medvedev vs. Felix Auger-Aliassime 1/25/22 Tennis Prediction

Daniil Medvedev (2) of Russia will meet Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (9) in the Quarter-Finals of the 2022 Australian Open. The match will be played on Tuesday January 25th, 2022.

A blockbuster match is expected as Daniil Medvedev plays Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Quarter-Finals of the Australian Open. Both men have been in great form, and Medvedev especially is considered to be the favorite to win it all here in Melbourne. Auger-Aliassime has performed inconsistently so far here, but has found a way to scrape wins out, which is a good thing. Can he cause the huge upset and defeat the world number two?

Daniil Medvedev is the world number two and is also the second seed here at the Australian Open. The Russian was considered one of the major contenders for the title here even before Novak Djokovic was withdrawn, and that has only cemented his status as the big favorite now. He has looked great so far here, and his hard court game is the best in the world at the moment. After struggling to cope with Maxime Cressy’s unique serve and volley style at times he recovered well to win in four sets, and is back on track as he heads towards a second consecutive Grand Slam title. His opponent Felix Auger-Aliassime is in for a huge battle here, and Medvedev is the big favorite to move on.

Felix Auger-Aliassime is ranked 10th in the world, and after long being considered one of the most promising young players in the world is living up to that billing now, and is a much more mature player than he has been in the past. He seems ready to compete at the big events, and while he has looked inconsistent so far here in Melbourne, he has mixed dominant wins in with scrappy ones, which bode well for his chances here. There is no doubt that he is the big underdog here as his opponent Daniil Medvedev is the title favorite, but the Canadian will give it his all and can be very dangerous when things are working for him.

This will be a fantastic match to watch, and it is between the power of Auger-Aliassime and the craftiness of Medvedev. The level of tennis will be extremely high, but there can only be one winner here, and that will be Daniil Medvedev. His defence is second to none, and will undoubtedly frustrate the Canadian and lead to unforced errors. It won’t be surprising for the match to be very close, but back the Russian during the tight moments and back him to win the match in three close sets.
