H2H: Kevin Anderson v Daniil Medvedev – comparison.

Kevin Anderson raced to a straight-set win on the indoor hard courts in Vienna last week, but the slower conditions in Paris gives Daniil Medvedev an opportunity to settle the scores with the South African.

Kevin Anderson and Daniil Medvedev face each other for the second straight week in the second round of Paris Masters this Wednesday. The pair met in the quarterfinal of ATP Vienna a few days ago when the South African upset the Russian #1 to register his biggest win of the season, 6-4 7-6. The last few weeks were quite disappointing for Daniil Medvedev as he failed to win a match in Hamburg and French Open, lost to Reilly Opelka in the second round of his title-defense campaign in St.Petersburg and could reach only the quarterfinal in Vienna last week.

World #5 Daniil Medvedev now makes his fourth consecutive appearance in Paris Masters, where he has never progressed beyond the second round. In fact, both of his previous main draw campaigns here in 2018 and 2019 ended in the second round against Borna Coric and Jeremy Chardy, respectively. After impressing on indoor hard courts by winning 19 matches in 2018 and 14 in 2019, the Russian has gone 4/4 on the surface so far in 2020, with the best result being a couple of quarterfinal appearances in Marseille (R1 bye) and Vienna.

Laslo Djere retired during the closing stages of the first set of his first-round match (trailing 2-5), handing Kevin Anderson a spot in the second round of Paris Masters. The big-serving South African would have preferred to spend a bit more time on the court before facing top players in Paris this week especially considering he was forced to retire from his semifinal match in Vienna last week. Former world #5 Kevin Anderson is a former quarterfinalist of Paris Masters, and he heads into this clash with a 4-3 record in the second round matches here with the recent such match ending in a three-set win over Nikoloz Basilashvili in 2018.
