 Daniel Medvedev vs Janik Hampman The third quarter final for the men's Rome Open 2023 And both guys weren't expected to make it this far Hampman started the tournament off as a qualifier And will take on Jerry in the first round There's no problem for Hampman Getting through in straight sets 6-4-6-4 In the second round he take on the number nine seed Fritz Who had been pretty good on the clay This was the biggest win for Hampman so far Getting through in straights 6-4-6-1 In the third round he take on fellow unseeded player Chekinado And after dropping the second set Fight back to win 6-4-4-6-6-3 In the fourth round he take on the number six Rubelev Who had won Monte Carlo a couple of months ago And after a close first set Hampman would have to fight to win in three 7-6-4-6-6-3 To make it to the quarter final Medvedev started the tournament off as the number three seed Would get a buy in the first round In the second round he take on Russivori There's no problem for Medvedev Getting through in straights 6-4-6-2 In the third round he take on the 31 seed Morales Who had actually been pretty good on the clay this season To drop in the first set Medvedev would fight back to win 3-6-6-1-6-3 In the fourth round he take on 19 seed Alexander Zverev Who had had some very big battles with this year This was very impressive for Medvedev Getting through in straights sets 6-2-7-6 To advance to the quarter finals These two guys have actually never faced off for four So it's going to be interesting to see Especially on the clay courts for Medvedev And how Hampman can deal with this new And improved clay court version of Medvedev Hampman is going to win this one He needs to get Medvedev frustrated We all know that Medvedev doesn't love play on clay It seems like this year he does But he does get frustrated sometimes on this surface And he's also going to get the crowd on his side He's the underdog and he's the qualifier Trying to get the crowd on his side And maybe that could frustrate Medvedev into some errors If Medvedev is going to win this one He needs to just keep doing what he's doing The drop shot against Zverev was such a good shot That he's been using very very smartly this year Which is kind of crazy Because you know he didn't really use the drop shot that much In the previous season So definitely going to use that And with his experience at this level And these sort of matches Maybe use that to his advantage And maybe bully Hampman a little bit Who might be a little nervous in this situation This is not a random match Didn't think this was going to be the final that we're going to see Or the quarter final that we're going to see But I'm going to go with Medvedev in this one Just based on experience I think Hampman has had a great run But I think the match against Rublev Kind of showed that he maybe might be at the end Of his fairytale And I feel like Medvedev just getting started In this tournament Showing us all that he's a clay quarter these days Which is kind of weird But let me know down in the comments below Who do you think is going to win this one
