Unloved terrain
On the other side of the net, Daniil Medvedev is one of the favorites to win the tournament. Although the Russian has rarely tired of emphasizing in the past that he does not like playing on clay, the quality of the 27-year-old is undisputed. Equipped with a bye in the first round, he made his start against the Italian Sonego, whom he easily defeated 6:3 and 6:2.

Rising shape curve
For Alexander Zverev it is important to continue to get in shape after his serious ankle injury. And the German seems to be moving in the right direction and has not only improved over the course of the year, but now also in the course of the tournament. If he still had problems in the opening match against Alexander Bublik, he stabilized himself against the Kazakh and then acted much better in the second match against Bautista Agut. With a two-set win, he prevailed against the Spaniard. Today, however, a different caliber awaits.
