Daniil Medvedev vs Arthur Rinderknech prediction
Medvedev is the overwhelming favorite heading into this match.
The Russian looks at home on the quick American hardcourts. Aganst Kozlov, he won 76% of points behind his first serve and was able to break the American eight times in the match.
But he will face a completely different opponent in the second round. Rinderknech possesses a powerful serve and flat groundstrokes. He prefers to stick to the baseline during rallies and rarely approaches the net. He slammed 15 aces against Halys and produced 43 winners.
This match-up will favor Medvedev as he prefers playing against more defensive-minded opponents. The Russian has no problem being patient before pouncing when the opportunity arises.
Pick: Medvedev in straight sets.
