Aug 20, 2022; Cincinnati, OH, USA; Daniil Medvedev (RUS) returns a shot against Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) at the Western & Southern Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.

Former World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev, who won the Canadian Open title back in 2021, begins his campaign in Toronto against qualifier Dalibor Svrcina of Czech Republic on Tuesday. This will be the first career meeting between these two players on the ATP circuit. With the Russian keen on re-entering the Top-10, can he ease past the World No. 120? Keep reading to know more about this match-up, as well as BetMGM’s favourable odds.

Daniil Medvedev vs Dalibor Svrcina Match Preview

Medvedev looked in imperious form last week at the Washington Open in the American capital. The World No. 14 played some of his best tennis before losing to Moutet in the QFs. On the whole, it has been an underwhelming campaign for the Russian. He reached his one and only final of 2025 at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle – losing to Bublik. Medvedev also made the semis at the Open 13 as well as Indian Wells. He comes into this match with a 25-16 hard court record over the past year.

Currently the Czech No. 5, Dalibor Svrcina defeated Watanuki in the qualifying event before overpowering Blockx in the Round of 128 on Monday. The 22-year-old has gone 2-5 in terms of career win-loss on the circuit, and is searching for his first tour-level main draw victory of 2025. He wins around 65% service games on this surface, alongside 40% return games. Having made his Grand Slam main draw debut at the 2023 Australian Open, Svrcina will be hoping to better his record at this year’s US Open.

Daniil Medvedev vs Dalibor Svrcina ATP National Bank Open 2025 Prediction

While Svrcina doesn’t have the strongest serve going around, he has an innate ability to change the pace of the game on his own terms. However, he will find it difficult to do so against the quality of Medvedev. With the Russian serving big, Svrcina will be forced to adopt a deep stance. The 29-year-old has the superior baseline game, and his experience is likely to carry him through against a counter-puncher like the Czech rising star.

Prediction: Daniil Medvedev in straight sets.
