Daniil Medvedev vs Mattia Bellucci Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Daniil Medvedev looks to start building some much-needed momentum when he meets qualifier Mattia Bellucci for a spot in the ABN AMRO Open quarter-finals in Rotterdam on Wednesday night.

Although he's been all over the place in recent months, I'm confident Medvedev can settle and cover a -4.5 games line in this encounter. Bellucci has done well to crack the top 100, but I haven't been too impressed with his overall form over the last few months. Before arriving in Rotterdam, Bellucci had lost seven of his last nine matches in all competitions. Medvedev finished strongly with a 6-1 in the third victory over Stan Wawrinka in his Rotterdam opener and that will have filled him with a bit of confidence after a turbulent start to the season in Australia. Medvedev is on a six-match winning streak in Rotterdam having won the 2023 title and he's expected to reach another quarter-final here.

Head To Head


This will be the first career meeting between the pair.

Daniil Medvedev Form


It's been a tumultuous last few months for Medvedev, who has dropped down to No. 7 in the rankings and is in real danger of tumbling outside the top 10, with the Russian defending a lot of points over the coming months.

Medvedev ended 2024 looking disinterested at the ATP Finals - and after the birth of his second child in the off-season - arrived at the Australian Open late and with limited preparation, losing in five sets to teenager Learner Tien in the second round.

The former US Open champion was then made to work extremely hard to make it past 39-year-old Stan Wawrinka in his Rotterdam opener, dropping the first set before prevailing 6-7 6-4 6-1.

Medvedev has a 10-4 record overall in Rotterdam, winning the title in his last appearance in 2023, defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime, Grigor Dimitrov and Jannik Sinner along the way.

Mattia Bellucci Form


Bellucci is hoping to have left the Challenger Tour behind after breaking into the top 100 to launch 2025 - but most of his good work was done midway through last season.

The Italian's form has certainly dipped over the last few months, with Bellucci winning just two of his last nine matches before arriving in Rotterdam last week.

The 23-year-old lost in the opening round of the Canberra Challenger and the second round of Australian Open qualifying, while he was also knocked out in the first round of the Quimper Challenger.

Bellucci has also benefitted from a great draw in Rotterdam - he's played two teenagers (Thijis Boogaard and Mees Rottgering) and an out-of-form opponent (Gijs Brouwer) to qualify and make the second round of the 500-level tournament.

Verdict

Admittedly Medvedev has been in terrible form, but I just can't see him having too much trouble dealing with Bellucci here.

The Italian hasn't been great to start the season and doesn't have the firepower to blast through the Russian. Medvedev enjoys these conditions and after a strong finish to his opening round, is expected to cover a -4.5 games line here.
