Daniil Medvedev vs Learner Tien preview

Daniil Medvedev will take on Learner Tien in the fourth round of the Shanghai Masters.
Medvedev has struggled to find his rhythm this year. After a runner-up finish in Halle, he reached the quarterfinals in Hangzhou and semifinals in Beijing. The Russian also participated in the US Open but lost to Benjamin Bonzi in the first round.
Medvedev started his campaign in Shanghai with a routine victory against Dalibor Svrcina. He then eliminated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the third round, 6-3, 7-6(5). The 29-year-old won 91% of his first serve points and only faced one break point against Fokina.

Learner Tien, meanwhile, has settled in quickly on the main tour. After a fourth round appearance in Toronto, he reached the quarterfinals in Hangzhou and secured a runner-up finish in Beijing. Despite a spirited performance against Jannik Sinner, the Italian defeated him in China Open final.
The American has started his campaign in Shanghai by cruising past Miomir Kecmanovic and Corentin Moutet in the first two rounds. He then brushed aside Cameron Norrie in the third, 7-6(4), 6-3. Tien won 73% of his first serve points and saved eight break points against Norrie.

Daniil Medvedev vs Learner Tien prediction

Medvedev has recovered well after his frustrating loss in the US Open this year. The Russian tried to keep the points short, which seems to be working in his favour. He put up a flawless performance against Davidovich Fokina and will be eager to maintain that level in Shanghai.
Tien, on the other hand, continued his rich vein of form this week. Despite trailing against Moutet and Kecmanovic, the American showed his hunger by outlasting both players in Shanghai. He's defeated Medvedev twice this year and will have a psychological edge entering the fourth round on Wednesday.
Medvedev will be desperate to lay a glove on Tien during their third meeting this year. He's yet to drop a set this week and should be able to enter the last eight in Shanghai.
Pick: Medvedev to win in straight sets.
