Daniil Medvedev vs Cameron Norrie preview
Daniil Medvedev will take on Cameron Norrie in the second round of the Italian Open.
Trending
Medvedev is a force to be reckoned with on the tour. After a second-round exit in the Australian Open, he reached the semifinal of the Open 13 Provence and the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Despite a spirited performance against Holger Rune, he was defeated in straight sets 7-5, 6-4.
The Russian will enter Rome after a quarterfinal exit in Madrid. He started his campaign by cruising past Juan Manuel Cerundolo and Brandon Nakashima in the initial few rounds, but couldn't make his mark against Casper Ruud. The Norwegian outsmarted Medvedev in straight sets 6-3, 7-5.
Meanwhile, Cameron Norrie has had a difficult season so far. Apart from quarterfinal runs in Delray Beach and Hong Kong, he's hardly made a valuable contribution on the tour. He also participated in the Australian Open but lost to Matteo Berrettini in the first round.
The Brit entered Rome after a third-round exit in Madrid. He secured a main draw berth via the lucky loser system and outclassed Christopher O'Connell in the first round. Norrie defeated the Australian in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.

Daniil Medvedev vs Cameron Norrie prediction
Daniil Medvedev has raised his level on clay in the last few years. The Russian will be pleased with his solid run in Madrid and look to build on his performance in Rome. He is known for his tactical acumen during matches, but also lacks the firepower to get past sticky opponents on the court.
Norrie on the contrary, will feel fortunate to enter the main draw in Rome. The Brit put up a clinical performance in the first round and will be eager to continue the same way against Medvedev in the second. He has a decent skill set on clay and likes to rely on his top-spin heavy forehand.
Considering their record on clay and results this year, Medvedev will be a slight favorite to come out on top. The Russian will be determined to be in top form ahead of the French Open and should be able to win the upcoming match against Norrie.
Pick: Medvedev to win in straight sets.
