His serve and powerful backhand should prove to be quite a handful for Tien in the semifinal. The big Russian’s ability to engage the American in crosscourt backhand exchanges and then finish the point by pulling the trigger down-the-line should prove to be crucial.Tien has a solid game overall, but does not quite possess the robustness in his game that might be crucial in contending with Medvedev. Still, Tien 8’s ability to stretch a rally might prove to be crucial on the day. Tien should try to make Medvedev play off his forehand as much as possible. However, the Russian is too strong a player to be toppled by Tien. The American might be able to win a set though.Pick: Daniil Medvedev to win in three sets.Daniil Medvedev vs Learner Tien betting tipsTip 1 – Result – Medvedev to win in three setsTip 2 – Each player wins a setTip 3 – The match to have at least 20 games
