Daniil Medvedev vs Yibing Wu

Daniil Medvedev takes on Yibing Wu in the ATP Washington Round of 16 on Thursday, with the Russian entering as the clear favorite. Medvedev, currently ranked in the top five, brings his signature baseline consistency and tactical depth, while Wu has shown flashes of promise but faces a steep challenge against an opponent of this caliber. The odds reflect Medvedev’s edge, with an average moneyline of 1.28 compared to Wu’s 3.52, suggesting bookmakers heavily favor the former.

Wu, who has been steadily climbing the rankings, will need to rely on his aggressive play and serve to unsettle Medvedev’s rhythm. However, the Russian’s experience and ability to grind out points make him a tough matchup for the Chinese player. While upsets are always possible in tennis, Medvedev’s consistency and higher-ranked pedigree give him the upper hand in this encounter.
