Prediction and Conclusion

Hamad Medjedovic is one of the rising stars on the tour, and it seems like he is one big win away from reaching the top 100 and making some noise on the ATP tour. He will have that chance today against Stefanos Tsitsipas, who does not play the best tennis of his career, which cost him a spot in the top 10 of the rankings. Tsitsipas is here to prepare for the upcoming Olympics, which is a huge deal since he comes from Greece. It is a big question whether he is capable and willing to go at his 100% in Gstaad, so we go with Medjedovic to cover the +3.5-game spread.
