🔍 Match Breakdown

This is a contrast in trajectories: Medjedovic is a flashy power-hitter struggling with durability, while Majchrzak is rebuilding from the ground up with focus and grit. The slower clay at Roland Garros favors Majchrzak’s steady game and exposes Medjedovic’s conditioning issues. If Medjedovic redlines, he can take a set. But sustained level over best-of-five on clay? That’s where Majchrzak’s consistency and rally tolerance come into play.

🔮 Prediction

Majchrzak has the edge in fitness, mental sharpness, and clay stability. If Medjedovic’s body doesn’t hold up—as has often been the case in 2024—this match tilts decisively. 🧩 Prediction: Majchrzak in 4 sets – Expect some resistance, but the Pole’s endurance and composure should wear Medjedovic down.
