Learner Tien has shown promising form with a form index of 60.88 and an Elo rating of 1292.13, but he faces a significant challenge against Medvedev, who boasts a much higher Elo rating of 3109.90 and a slightly better form index of 61.49. Tien's cumulative fatigue of 389 minutes is notably higher than Medvedev's 171 minutes, which may impact his performance. On hard courts, Tien's surface strength index is 10.42, while Medvedev's is significantly higher at 30.12. The difference in mean serve index is narrow, with Tien at 96.03 and Medvedev at 95.20, indicating both players have strong serving capabilities. However, Tien's mean return index of 88.20 surpasses Medvedev's 87.66, suggesting he may have the edge in returning serves. In their recent performances, both players have recorded wins in their last three matches, with Tien defeating Cameron Norrie, Corentin Moutet, and Miomir Kecmanovic, all in straight sets. Conversely, Medvedev has also been dominant, winning against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Dalibor Svrcina, and Alexander Zverev without dropping a set. This consistency showcases both players' current form, but Medvedev’s tougher opposition and experience at this level should give him an advantage.
