Daniil Medvedev vs Adrian Mannarino preview
2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev will square off against Adrian Mannarino in the second round of the 2023 Wimbledon on Thursday.
Medvedev faced Arthur Fery in the first round here. The Russian was the first to strike in the opening set by snagging a break in the fifth game to go 3-2 up. However, he surrendered his lead immediately in the next game.
Medvedev eventually broke through Fery's defense as he swept the last three games of the set to clinch it. The former led 4-2 in the second set but once again saw his lead evaporate before his eyes. Medvedev managed to recover yet again, claiming the set by bagging the last couple of games.
The Russian found himself in the driver's seat in the third set as well. He didn't give up his lead this time and broke Fery's serve twice to win the match 7-5, 6-4, 6-3 and make a triumphant return to Wimbledon.
Mannarino, meanwhile, drew Alexander Shevchenko in the first round. The Frenchman was in control of the match right from the start as he broke his opponent's serve twice in each set to win the contest 6-3, 6-3, 6-2.

Daniil Medvedev vs Adrian Mannarino prediction
Medvedev was tested a fair bit by Fery in the previous round but managed to overcome a feisty challenge by his younger adversary. The Russian struck 45 winners in contrast to 30 unforced errors.
However, Mannarino has been a thorn in Medvedev's side for quite a long time now. Four of their six encounters have taken place on grass, with the Frenchman winning three of them, including their most recent one last month at the Libema Open.
On that occasion, Medvedev claimed the first set but went on to lose the match in three sets. The Russian hasn't been too convincing on grass this season, mainly due to his return position and clumsy footwork. Medvedev's serve has also been rather inconsistent.
If his serve reaches its former potency once again, he could certainly have a shot against Mannarino. He has beaten the Frenchman on grass once before, so if everything falls into place, he has it in him to repeat the feat.
One can't expect a player like Medvedev not to learn from his mistakes and improve himself. The Russian has a shot, provided he makes the necessary adjustments needed to win. However, Mannarino will be expected to come out on top based on their recent results and head-to-head.
Pick: Adrian Mannarino to win in five sets.
