Daniil Medvedev looking to find good form ahead of Wimbledon
After a surprise first-round defeat in the Halle Open last week, Medvedev will hope to make the most of his wild-card invitation to Mallorca. The top seed of the tournament is eager to have a good preparation ahead of the year’s third Grand Slam in Wimbledon next week.
This is Medvedev’s second tournament on grass this year, as he was off to a good start by winning his first match against Corentin Moutet in straight sets. The Russian won 71% of the points behind his serve and was broken just once in the match. Medvedev won 67% of the games.

Casper Ruud showing good form in his two matches
This is Casper Ruud’s second participation in a grass tournament. The Norwegian won his opening two matches in straight sets. Grass is not Ruud’s favorite surface but he started off in a very good way by beating experienced Gilles Simon in a tight match 6-4 7-6.
Ruud showed some very stable form in the two matches especially on his serve as the world number fourteen lost just four points behind his first serve against Sandgren in the second round. 1st service is very important on grass courts and Ruud is serving 84% in the tournament.

Daniil Medvedev vs Casper Ruud Prediction
This is the second match between the two players with Medvedev winning the only meeting in the 2020 ATP Cup. Medvedev is the clear favorite to win with the bookies with an odds of 1.20.
There is not much difference between the two players looking at their form in Mallorca. As we have seen in the past week in Halle and this week in Mallorca, matches on grass between players who are close to each other in rankings usually end in a high number of games.
Looking at their service percentages as well in Mallorca, both players are having a great service performance. We thus think that we will see over 21.5 games in this match.
