Prediction Of Medvedev Vs Griekspoor H2H, Who Will Win At ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships 2025?

What Time Will Daniil Medvedev Play Against Tallon Griekspoor?

Medvedev and Griekspoor are on the Day 4 Schedule at Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships 2025 on Thursday 27 February 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Daniil Medvedev, age 29 and currently ranked World No. 6, holds the distinction of being the tallest World No. 1 in history, standing at 1.98m (6’6″). He spent 16 weeks as the top-ranked player in 2022, becoming the first player other than Djokovic, Federer, Murray, and Nadal to hold the No. 1 spot since Roddick in 2004.

As a six-time Grand Slam finalist, Medvedev boasts a 5-3 record against Djokovic when the Serb is World No. 1. This includes a notable victory in the 2021 US Open final, where he defeated Djokovic in straight sets, denying him the calendar Grand Slam. In addition, Medvedev achieved a remarkable feat in the 2020 Nitto ATP Finals by defeating the No. 1-ranked Djokovic, No. 2-ranked Nadal, and No. 3-ranked Thiem en route to winning the tournament. This made him the first player to sweep the top three players in the tournament’s history and the ATP Tour in general since 2007.

With an impressive record of 63 victories in 2021, Medvedev led the ATP Tour and enjoyed a 20-match winning streak from 2020 to 2021, with 12 of those wins coming against Top 10 players. During his successful run, he claimed titles at the 2021 ATP Cup, Laver Cup, and Davis Cup. Notably, Medvedev has won 18 of his 20 singles titles on hard courts, with his first title on clay coming in 2023 in Rome.

It is important to note that Medvedev is the only former champion remaining in the draw at the Dubai tournament and is aiming to reach the semifinals for the third consecutive year. He won the title in 2023 and was a semifinalist in 2024, losing to Humbert. Medvedev has a strong record against players ranked outside the Top 30 at this venue, with only one loss to No. 113 Berankis in the first round of the 2019 tournament.

On the other side of the match, we have Tallon Griekspoor, a 28-year-old player currently ranked World No. 47 with a career-high ranking of No. 21. In 2023, Griekspoor achieved a personal-best of 36 wins, winning his first ATP Tour title in Pune and reaching his career-high ranking in November.

Griekspoor has had success on home soil, boasting a 17-3 record in his home country of the Netherlands in 2023-24. This period included his second title at ‘s-Hertogenbosch in 2023 and a notable victory over the No. 8-ranked player, Hurkacz, in the 2024 Rotterdam quarterfinals after rallying from a set down. Griekspoor has shown a knack for comebacks as he has rallied from a set down in several matches against higher-ranked opponents, including players like Wawrinka, Khachanov, Karatsev, A. Zverev, and de Minaur.

In 2021, Griekspoor had a remarkable run on the ATP Challenger Tour, going 8-0 in finals and concluding the season with 25 consecutive wins. Despite his success on the Challenger Tour, Griekspoor holds a 3-27 record against Top 10 players and is seeking the biggest win of his career. Notable victories for Griekspoor include defeating No. 9 Fritz at the 2023 Washington, No. 8 Hurkacz at the 2024 Rotterdam, and No. 8 Ruud at the 2024 Stockholm tournaments.

Both Medvedev and Griekspoor have demonstrated their abilities on the ATP Tour, and their matchup in the first round of the Dubai tournament marks their first meeting. Medvedev’s impressive history as a former World No. 1 and Grand Slam finalist is juxtaposed with Griekspoor’s promising performances on home soil and potential for upsets against higher-ranked opponents. It will be an exciting match to watch as both players aim to advance in the tournament.
