Daniil Medvedev vs Learner Tien preview

Eighth seed Daniil Medvedev will take on Learner Tien in the semifinals of the China Open 2025.

Medvedev, who is no longer a top-10 player these days, has seen his ranking drop to world No. 18. The 28-year-old Russian has looked in good touch in Beijing though and is yet to drop a set in the tournament.

Medvedev beat Cameron Norrie 6-3 6-4 in the second round. He then beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-3 6-3 and then upset Alexander Zverev 6-3 6-3 in the quarterfinals.

Tien, meanwhile, beat Francisco Cerundolo 4-6 6-3 6-4 in the second round and Flavio Cobolli 6-3 6-2 in the round of 16. He then led fourth-seed Lorenzo Musetti 4-6 6-3 3-0 before the latter gave him a walkover.

Daniil Medvedev vs Learner Tien prediction

Medvedev is enjoying a rich vein of form in this tournament. His serve and powerful backhand should prove to be quite a handful for Tien in the semifinal. The big Russian's ability to engage the American in crosscourt backhand exchanges and then finish the point by pulling the trigger down-the-line should prove to be crucial.

Tien has a solid game overall, but does not quite possess the robustness in his game that might be crucial in contending with Medvedev. Still, Tien 8's ability to stretch a rally might prove to be crucial on the day. Tien should try to make Medvedev play off his forehand as much as possible. However, the Russian is too strong a player to be toppled by Tien. The American might be able to win a set though.

Pick: Daniil Medvedev to win in three sets.
