The 26-year-old looked comfortable in the second and third sets, cruising into the third round of the French Open for the second straight season.

Daniil Medvdedev vs Miomir Kecmanovic prediction

Medvedev has looked sharp in his first two matches this week. He's been finding the lines on a regular basis and seems to have improved his game at the net. The Russian will be harboring hopes of making a deep run in Paris.

A former junior No. 1, Kecmanovic is having a fantastic season. He has improved his serve and uses a lot of spin on his forehand. The Serb has adopted a more attacking approach over the past few months, making him a very dangerous opponent.

Medvedev came into the French Open under the radar. The Russian doesn't have a good claycourt record and wasn't expected to go very far. But his first two matches might have changed people's opinions. He has served well this week and has hit his forehand with conviction.

Expect the Russian to progress further if he continues at the same level.

Pick: Medvedev in four sets.
