In what promises to be a captivating clash at the 2023 US Open, third seed Daniil Medvedev will face 23rd seed Alex De Minaur in the fourth round. Both players have displayed remarkable form and determination, setting the stage for an exciting encounter on the hard courts of New York.

Medvedev, known for his commanding baseline game and incredible defensive skills, will be eager to win a Major this year. The Russian has been a dominant force this season, with five titles already on the main tour. His recent semi-final appearance at Wimbledon underline his potential in Grand Slam events.

De Minaur, on the other hand, has reached four finals on the main tour this year, highlighting his capability to do well at the highest level. Famed for his speed and agility, he will aim to disrupt Medvedev's rhythm by employing his exceptional court-coverage skills. The 24-year-old also has a decent offensive game, and will look to employ his quick footwork to approach the net whenever possible.

Considering Medvedev's experience and baseline dominance, he is likely to enter this match as a slight favourite. The Russian's flat groundstrokes and ability to change pace can push De Minaur into uncomfortable defensive positions. Moreover his own defensive skills can absorb De Minaur's powerful groundstrokes and turn them into counterattacking opportunities.

De Minaur's recent win over Medvedev in Cincinnati will boost his confidence and the Australian will present a tough challenge for the third seed. But Medvedev looks to mean business at the moment, and should be able to outplay his opponent and secure his place in the quarterfinals.

Pick: Medvedev to win in four sets.
