 Olga Runa vs. Daniel Medvedev is a third quarter final for the Monte Carlo Masters for 2023. And both players have had different roads to get to this stage. Runa entered the tournament as a number six seed and we're going to buy in the first round. In the second round he'd take on Dominic Teem. He was starting to look like he was in a little bit of form after a good win against Gascade. But Runa was too strong, getting through in straight sets, 6-2-6-4. In the third round Runa was supposed to take on Baratini, who had just played an epic match against Serendolo. But unfortunately Baratini had to withdraw within a domino strain handing Runa the walkover to advance to the quarter finals. Medvedev started the tournament off as a number three seed and we're going to buy in the first round. In the second round he'd take on Sonego, the wild card from Italy. This was no problem for Medvedev, getting through in straight sets, 6-3-6-2. In the third round he'd take on the number 13 seed, Sashas Varev. Last year's semi-finalist in a very competent clay quarter. And after losing the first set, Medvedev would fight back to win, saving two match points in the final set tie break, 3-6-7-5-7-6 to advance to the quarter finals. These two guys have actually never played before, which is kind of crazy because over the last six months or so, they have both been very, very high up in the rankings, but never crossed paths until today. Runa's going to win this one. He needs to know that he is the better clay court player and he needs to play like a clay quarter. We know Medvedev was pretty good against Varev. He didn't show some signs of being clay court, but this is Runa's turf. This is where he announced himself last year, and he should know that he is the better clay court player and be aggressive and play the clay court game. Medvedev's going to win this one. He needs to play like he did against Varev. But also maybe intimidate Runa a little bit. Maybe serve bigger. Maybe try and do some big second serves. He's going to have to do a lot to beat Runa, I think, in this one because he's playing against a very good, young, informed clay court player as opposed to Varev. We're still on the comeback, so I think Medvedev's going to have to use a lot more than just maybe his skills on the court and with the ground strokes to get in Runa's head. This is a fun matchup, and it's a match that I wanted to see on the hard courts between these two guys. I've never played before. First time meeting, we're seeing it on the clay courts. I think Runa's going to get the win here. I reckon it's going to be a close straight set. I think Medvedev's been pretty good this tournament. Let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win this one?
