In the latest sports news, we are taking a look at Daniil Medvedev, one of the hottest names in tennis. Medvedev continues to dominate the ATP Tour with 32 wins under his belt in 2023. And take note, this is despite him playing on his less-preferred clay surface. He started his Mutua Madrid Open campaign with a solid 6-4, 6-3 win against Italian qualifier Andrea Vavassori after his quarter-final run in Monte-Carlo.
In the match, Medvedev secured a late break of serve in each set to finish the game in 82 minutes. Although he acknowledges he does not feel at his best on clay, the 19-time tour-level champion is hoping to build on his opening victory in Madrid and achieve a bigger run in the Spanish capital. Many tennis fans and bettors already have their picks selected in their preferred sports betting software.
Medvedev Dominates ATP Tour
If you look at any sportsbook pay per head operation offering tennis bets, you will see just how lucrative tennis betting is. This is especially true during big events, like the ATP Tour. And when you have names like Medvedev, as well as a lot of new promising athletes, then all bets are off, quite literally.
Medvedev’s record has earned him top spot in the Pepperstone ATP Live Race To Turin. In Madrid, he is aiming to secure his fifth tour-level trophy this season and will face another qualifier, Alexander Shevchenko, in the third round. Shevchenko, who won two ATP Challenger Tour events in 2023, secured a convincing 6-1, 6-1 victory against the 31st seed Jiri Lehecka in just 45 minutes.
