Daniil Medvedev and Stan Wawrinka meet in the first round of the 2025 Rotterdam Open on Monday, February 3, 2025. Here's our Daniil Medvedev vs Stan Wawrinka prediction. This preview will also include a Daniil Medvedev vs Stan Wawrinka pick.
Daniil Medvedev Preview
It's not been the start to the season that Daniil Medvedev had hoped for. The Russian failed to navigate the second-round hurdle at this year's Australian Open in what remains his only tournament of the 2025 campaign.
Medvedev lost an incredible five-set match to Next Gen star Learner Tien in Melbourne and has since fallen as low as 7th in the ATP rankings.
Still without an ATP title since the 2023 Rome Masters, Medvedev is back in Rotterdam much sooner than expected looking to find form. He was champion at this event two years ago, beating Jannik Sinner in the final.
Although the Italian has inflicted some major heartbreaks to Medvedev in the past year, he won't be competing in 2025. So, does that open the door for Medvedev to reign supreme in Rotterdam?
Stan Wawrinka Preview
Stan Wawrinka is now ranked 154th in the ATP rankings and has been granted a wild card to compete in Rotterdam for the seventh time in the main draw.
Wawrinka has reached two finals, winning the title in 2015 by beating Tomas Berdych and losing to Gael Monfils in 2019. His last appearance was in 2023 when he lost to Sinner in the quarterfinal.
Wawrinka is 0-2 this year. He competed at the Australian Open in his first tournament of 2025, losing to eventual quarterfinalist Lorenzo Sonego in four sets.
In his second tournament, he lost in the opening round of the Montpellier Open to Arthur Cazaux. So he arrives in Rotterdam chasing his first win of the season.
Daniil Medvedev vs Stan Wawrinka Head-To-Head
• Medvedev and Wawrinka have played four times on the ATP Tour.
• The head-to-head is tied at 2-2.
• Wawrinka won their last clash at the 2022 Metz Open in three sets.
• None of their four previous meetings have been settled in straight sets.
Daniil Medvedev vs Stan Wawrinka Prediction
Now 39 and outside the top 100, Wawrinka is very much in the twilight of his stellar career. A three-time Grand Slam champion and player who outplayed even some of the greatest names in tennis on a good day, he's now a shadow of his former self. While he is still capable of the odd moment of brilliance with his devastating backhand shot, he doesn't have the legs and sustainable power to compete at the highest standard.
Even with Medvedev looking as shaky as he has been at the start of 2025, he should win this match at a canter. Give me Medvedev in two sets.
