Daniil Medvedev v Grigor Dimitrov
Medvedev is running towards his first final of the year in Rotterdam but he will face a very tricky opponent in Dimitrov. Both of them have played some amazing tennis but Medvedev is clearly playing better tennis at the moment.
He’s been utterly impressive in utilizing his length and standing position in rallies to defend well. The slower court is also helping him a great deal with that so Dimitrov will need to find a way to counter that. He’s beaten Medvedev on hard courts before with the current score still favouring the Russian 4-2.
I don’t think Dimitrov will able to pull out something special here. It’s quite easy to see why Medvedev is heavily favoured in this one.
He’s been a wall that’s hard to break down and Dimitrov, while capable of some magic, rarely performs it. I’m going to stick with the Russian. If you’re feeling bold you can also try that he will win in straight sets.

Iga Swiatek v Jessica Pegula
The Doha final will see Swiatek take on Pegula in a matchup that we saw not long ago at the United Cup. The score was quite shocking back then because Pegula smashed Swiatek 6-2 6-2. This time around things will probably be different because the Polsih player is simply on fire.
She had to play only two matches so far and both finished with the same number of lost games (1). It was an incredible display, so incredible that it feels really impossible to see how anybody could beat her. The question remains whether Pegula could find what she found at the United Cups some weeks ago.
Swiatek leads the H2H so far so it’s rather clear that it’s a matchup that works well for her. I think she’ll win again but there is a chance this becomes a bit closer than usual.
It’s a final after all and I don’t think Pegula will go down 6-0 6-1. It’s risky and betting on Swiatek to just win is far safer. Your call.
Tip: Over 21.5 games in the match: 5/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
Jannik Sinner v Tallon Griekspoor
Jannik Sinner is entering this match with an active 7-match winning streak as he played last week in Montpellier and won that event. He’s been on fire for a while now and looks unstoppable. Griekspoor played really well so far and he’s been a really tough player to break for a while.
Both are good players and the Dutch player is playing at home but he’ll be very overwhelmed here. He didn’t face any player that is capable of hitting so well as Sinner is doing right now. He’ll see quick balls flying his way and he certainly won’t be able to outhit the Italian.
He can do some damage if his serve remains on point and if he finds a way to do keep the rallies short. I’m not sure he’ll be able to do so and that’s why Sinner is heavily favoured in this one. If you can find 19,5 then an over on the games is certainly worth it but otherwise, it’s Sinner matches.
I’ll tip him to win it in straight sets because I believe in him being the far better player overall and that will show on the score.
