Quarter-final tennis doesn't get much more exciting than this clash on Sun, 4 Oct, at 7:30 pm AEDT. World No. 6 Daniil Medvedev steps onto the court riding a three-match winning streak, but he faces a tough opponent in Francisco Cerundolo, who also brings three consecutive wins into this contest. Both men are firing at the right time, making this a mouth-watering matchup for anyone following our tennis betting tips.

Who Will Win?

When you check out the match-winner market, the numbers say Medvedev holds a solid edge as the head-to-head favourite at 1.40, while Cerundolo sits at 2.98. Medvedev boasts a sensational 40-16 record this year with a 71% win percentage, backed up by 24 career titles and a former World No. 1 ranking. He is coming off a win over Pablo Carreno Busta on Friday, 2 October, showing his quality under pressure.

However, World No. 22 Cerundolo carries plenty of confidence himself. The Argentine holds a 35-18 YTD record with two titles this season and comes in off a victory against Jakub Mensik on Saturday, 3 October. Crucially, the head-to-head record sits 1-0 in Cerundolo's favour after his victory over Medvedev in March 2026 on hard court. While Cerundolo rates a real chance of causing problems, Medvedev's elite career mark of 460 wins against 196 losses gives him a big tick at this level.
