H2H History

There’s no match history between these 2 players.

Randy’s Pick

You can’t overlook Hanfmann after what he did in his last effort, but the truth is this is the first time he’s in this position, and it’s fair to question if he can repeat things. Medvedev has the power to give Hanfmann trouble, and he just doesn’t lose often when he gets in these positions. I just can’t bet against Hanfmann in this spot, and I’ll take him in straight sets to shave down the price.
