On Tuesday, July 9, in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2024, Jannik Sinner will face Daniil Medvedev. Analysts from Dailysports have prepared a prediction and bets for this match.
Jannik Sinner
Sinner is the world’s number one tennis player. The Italian triumphed this season at the Australian Open and followed it up by winning the Miami Masters, which allowed him to surpass Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. At Roland Garros, the 22-year-old Italian was just one step away from the final but lost to Alcaraz in a five-set thriller in the semifinals.
It's safe to say that Sinner's path to the quarterfinals wasn't easy. However, in four matches at Wimbledon 2024, Sinner has only lost two sets – in the 1st round to Yannick Hanfmann and in the 2nd round to fellow countryman Matteo Berrettini. In the 3rd round, Sinner demolished Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in three sets, conceding only 7 games throughout the match.
In the round of 16, Sinner defeated American talent Ben Shelton, ranked 14th in the world. The Italian won the first two sets 6-2 and 6-4, but the third set went to a tiebreak, where the ATP number one prevailed 11-9.
Daniil Medvedev
Medvedev cannot be satisfied with his current season so far. The world's fifth-ranked player has not won a single trophy in 2024, unlike in 2023 when he claimed 5 titles. Recently, at Roland Garros, Medvedev unexpectedly crashed out in the round of 16 to Australian Alex de Minaur.
Prior to Wimbledon, Medvedev played in just one grass-court tournament, where he completely underperformed. In Halle, Germany, Medvedev won his first-round match against Nuno Borges but surprisingly lost in three sets in the round of 16 to China's Zhizhen Zhang, ranked 38th in the world.
At Wimbledon, Medvedev thrashed American Aleksandar Kovacevic in three sets in the opening round, followed by a challenging win against the world’s 102nd-ranked player Alexander Muller. Medvedev lost the first set to the Frenchman in a tiebreak but ultimately won 3-1. In the round of 16, Medvedev also defeated Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff in four sets. In the round of 16, Medvedev advanced after Grigor Dimitrov retired at 5-3 in Medvedev's favor in the first set.
