But this was so far Medi's most impressive performance, getting through in straights, 6-2, 6-2 to advance to a semi-final on Rome. These two guys have played 11 times before, with Mevedev holding the head to head 7-4 over City Pass. They've only played on a clay court twice, with the head dead split down the middle at 1-1. And City Pass has won their last two matches on hard courts. Confidence will be with Steph, especially being on a clay court, which is his preferred surface. Having a look at the truck quality thanks to Tennis Insights. On the serve, City Pass holds the edge for the last 52 weeks, with an 8.2 compared to the 8.0 from Medi. But Mevedev's got a better return with a 7.7, compared to a 6.7 from City Pass. Forehand goes to Steph though, 8.3 to an 8.1. And Mevedev's backhand, the more solid of the two, with a 7.7 to a 7.1. So very interesting to see how this one goes considering how split all the major shots are, thanks to shot quality. Previous round though, City Pass did hit a 9.7 forehand shot quality, which is near perfect in his charge match. But Mevedev's defense has been very, very solid this week, so it's going to be tough. But Steph, to get through the defense, is going to have to use a lot of forehands and use that big serve to affect. The shot quality is calculated in real time by analyzing each shot's speed, spin, depth, width, and the impact it has on the opponent.

This is such a fun matchup. Every time they're played, it always produces something, either fireworks or a really close matchup. But I think City Pass is going to get this one. But on the clay courts, it's a little bit too hard to pick Mevedev over City Pass on a clay court, especially considering City Pass is now starting with the hardcore battles between the two, which was always Mevedev's sort of safe space. So I think it's going to be City Pass getting through this one, maybe three sets, and hopefully some fireworks as well. But let me know down in the comments below, who do you think is making it to the final?
