Daniil Medvedev has come back strongly after his first round exit in Rotterdam eager as per his own words to build a new streak. The Russian is yet to be broken this week and that&#8217;s a testament to how well he&#8217;s been serving. On the other hand he has broken each of his opponent thrice in every match on the back of his stellar return game.<\/p>\n<p>Pierre-Hugues Herbert too has been serving exceptionally well and didn&#8217;t concede a single break point in his semi-final match. The Frenchman loves to play in the forecourt and uses his reach well to close out points. In a way it&#8217;s in complete contrast to Medvedev who likes to hang back and use his defence to turn around points. It&#8217;ll be interesting if either player changes their game for this match but it&#8217;s more likely they&#8217;re going to stick with what&#8217;s been working so far.<\/p>\n<p>Both players shouldn&#8217;t be too fatigued as Herbert looked rapid around the court after a long match with Stefanos Tsitsipas. Medvedev was lucky in a way as Matthew Ebden had to retire in the second set. Expect a mighty clash with neither dropping their guard on serve. Herbert should be able to snatch a set but that&#8217;ll only push Medvedev into the zone where it seems like he can&#8217;t miss. The Russian&#8217;s steely resolve should see him through for a first title here in Marseille.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Medvedev in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1283966093\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 72.55892% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1283966093?et=Lfjn2IcKRklUZYcZndn7Uw&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=hIG3cUJk4s_edxncu5KcHLFwByJ1MK-RA-L6AhzlCe8=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"431\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Open 13 Provence 2021 in Marseille is all geared up for a first time winner.
