Prediction: Cameron Norrie VS Daniil Medvedev 2025-05-27
The French Open is heating up, and we've got a mouth-watering matchup between Cameron Norrie and Daniil Medvedev. Medvedev, the self-proclaimed "clay court king," is looking to improve on his quarterfinal finish in 2021. With a 6-3 record on clay this season and a 4-0 head-to-head record against Norrie, he's feeling pretty confident.
But, let's not count out Norrie just yet. He's a feisty opponent who could give Medvedev a run for his money. After all, Medvedev has lost in the first round of the French Open five times in his career, so he's not invincible.
Looking at the odds, Medvedev is a heavy favorite at 1.22 (Bovada), while Norrie is a significant underdog at 4.5. The spread is set at 6.5 games, with Medvedev favored to cover at 1.95 (BetUS).
My best bet for this matchup is Medvedev to win in 4 sets. With his dominant head-to-head record and strong clay court form, I think he'll take care of business, but Norrie will push him to four sets. The odds for this bet are around 3.5 (not explicitly stated, but implied by the market), which I think is a decent value.
So, there you have it - Medvedev in 4 sets. Don't @ me, Norrie fans!
