Medjedovic vs Mpetshi Perricard — Winston-Salem QF Preview

ATP Winston-Salem Hard Court Quarterfinal

🧠 Form & Context

Hamad Medjedovic

• 🔥 2025 record: 26–13. SF run in Marseille (d. Medvedev, Khachanov), R3 Roland Garros & Cincinnati (pushed Alcaraz).
• ✅ Winston-Salem debut: wins over Fearnley, Diallo, Rinderknech — all in straights.
• 💪 Known for indoor power but building consistency on hard (6–2 this year).
• ⚠️ Wimbledon retirement (leg issue), but fit this week.
• 🏆 1 ATP title (2023 Gstaad).

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

• 🎢 Mixed 2025: 16–17 overall; highs include wins vs Bublik, Mensik, Tiafoe.
• ✅ Winston-Salem run: saved MPs vs Martinez, then dominated Muller in straights.
• 💥 Serve-focused game: elite ace count, thrives in breakers (already 3 deciding-set TBs this swing).
• 📉 Hard record: 8–8 this season; searching for stability.
• 🏆 2 ATP titles (both 2024).

🔍 Match Breakdown

Head-to-head: 1–0 Medjedovic (Barcelona 2025, 7–5, 7–6).

Medjedovic brings a fuller arsenal — heavy baseline drives, big serve, and composure vs top opposition. Mpetshi Perricard’s serve/forehand can dominate short rallies, but his defensive gaps get exposed if points extend.

Winston-Salem’s medium-fast hard rewards first-strike tennis, giving the Frenchman chances to dictate. Yet Medjedovic has already shown he can absorb and redirect the serve bombs, winning their April meeting in straights.

🔮 Prediction

Expect a serve-dominated contest with tiebreaks likely. Medjedovic is steadier from the baseline and has proven clutch in this matchup.

Pick: Medjedovic in 2 tight sets (7–6, 6–4). If Mpetshi Perricard serves at 70%+, a third-set TB looms, but Medjedovic’s balance of return depth and baseline control gives him the edge.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Form trend: Medjedovic strong across surfaces; Mpetshi Perricard streaky.
• Surface fit: Medium-fast hard rewards both; slight edge to serve-dominant Frenchman.
• Baseline edge: Medjedovic steadier in neutral rallies.
• H2H: 1–0 Medjedovic (2025 Barcelona, straights).
• Clutch factor: Both dangerous in TBs, but Medjedovic has handled top-10 pressure better.

Shnaider vs Mertens — Monterrey QF Preview

WTA Monterrey Hard Court Quarterfinal

🧠 Form & Context

Diana Shnaider

• 🎢 2025 dip: 20–19 record, far from her 4-title 2024 breakout.
• ❌ QF block: 0–3 in quarterfinals this season.
• ✅ Monterrey breakthrough: beat Rakhimova after trailing 1–4 in the first set, into first QF here.
• 💥 Aggressive lefty style, thrives when dictating early with cross-court forehand.
• 📉 Still hunting her first semi of 2025 after 7 last year.

Elise Mertens

• 🔥 Sharp this week: d. Blinkova 6–4, 6–3 and Vekić 6–3, 6–3 (just 13 games conceded).
• 📈 Solid 2025: 32–15 overall; titles in Singapore & ’s-Hertogenbosch; 3–1 in QFs this season.
• 🇲🇽 Monterrey record: 5–1 lifetime, SF on debut in 2023.
• 💪 Elite returner: created 13 break points vs Vekić, showing great anticipation.
• 🏆 Career: 10 WTA singles titles; highly reliable at 250 level.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Head-to-Head: 2–1 Mertens.

• Monterrey 2023: Mertens d. Shnaider 6–0, 6–4.
• Stuttgart 2025: Mertens d. Shnaider 6–2, 7–6.
• Rome 2025: Shnaider d. Mertens 6–2, 6–3.

Shnaider must lean into first-strike patterns — lefty serve + forehand cross can open space. If rallies stretch, Mertens’ depth and patience usually force errors. The Belgian’s QF track record (3–1 this year) contrasts with Shnaider’s struggles (0–3).

Monterrey’s medium-paced hard courts reward baseline solidity, favoring Mertens’ steady counterpunching more than Shnaider’s high-risk style.

🔮 Prediction

With form, Monterrey comfort, and superior composure in this round, Mertens is the safer pick. Shnaider’s firepower can push it deep and even snatch a set, but closing out QFs has been her stumbling block.

Pick: Mertens in 3 sets. If Shnaider lands 65%+ first serves, the upset door opens — otherwise Mertens’ steadiness prevails.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Form trend: Shnaider struggling at QF stage; Mertens steady with titles & wins.
• Surface fit: Monterrey medium-hard tilts toward Mertens’ consistency.
• First-strike vs rally craft: Shnaider aggression vs Mertens’ defense-to-offense balance.
• H2H: 2–1 Mertens; both wins in straight sets outside clay.
• Pressure handling: Mertens proven in QFs; Shnaider still searching.

Korda vs Kecmanovic — Winston-Salem QF Preview

ATP Winston-Salem Hard Court Quarterfinal

🧠 Form & Context

Sebastian Korda

• 🔄 Mixed 2025: 13–10 record, highlighted by Miami QF (d. Tsitsipas, Monfils before falling to Djokovic).
• ✅ Winston-Salem history: SF in 2023; this year wins over Kopriva and Majchrzak.
• 💥 Style: big serve + flat ball-striking, but fitness and consistency remain question marks.
• 📉 Ranking dip: No. 86, far from career-high 15, but dangerous when healthy.

Miomir Kecmanovic

• 🔥 Title run: Delray Beach champion this February — confidence booster.
• 📊 Solid year: 23–22 overall, with multiple deciding-set wins showing toughness.
• ✅ Winston-Salem form: handled Kovacevic and Darderi comfortably.
• 📈 Hard court steady: 15–10 this season, his most consistent surface.
• 🏆 Career: 2 ATP titles (Delray Beach 2025, Kitzbühel 2020).

🔍 Match Breakdown

Head-to-Head: 1–1. Korda won 2025 Adelaide SF (6–3, 7–6). Kecmanovic won 2022 Miami R3 (7–6, 6–3).

• Korda: A-game higher — big serve + first-strike tennis, quick points on fast hard.
• Kecmanovic: Absorbs pace, extends rallies, thrives on patience and rhythm.

Physically, Kecmanovic holds the edge in grinding exchanges. Night-session conditions in Winston-Salem may slow the court slightly — leaning toward his counterpunching. For Korda, the key is serve efficiency and cutting rallies short.

🔮 Prediction

Stylistically a coin flip. Korda’s ceiling is higher, but Kecmanovic has steadier match toughness this year and looks better equipped to handle momentum swings.

Pick: Kecmanovic in 3 sets. Expect swings, but longer rallies and night conditions tilt toward the Serbian.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Form trend: Korda uneven; Kecmanovic steadier across 2025.
• Surface fit: Both comfortable on hard; conditions slightly favor Kecmanovic.
• H2H: 1–1; both matches tight.
• First-strike vs attrition: Korda firepower vs Kecmanovic rally tolerance.
• Clutch factor: Kecmanovic sharper in deciders this season.

Munar vs Fucsovics — Winston-Salem QF Preview

ATP Winston-Salem Hard Court Quarterfinal

🧠 Form & Context

Jaume Munar

• 🔄 Steady grinder: 21–20 on the season, thrives in baseline attrition.
• ✅ Beat Bellucci, then rallied past Sonego in 3 sets to reach QF.
• 🎯 Key 2025 results: Rome R16 (d. Shelton, Korda), Wimbledon R3.
• 📈 Hard courts: 9–7 this year, including a Miami win over Medvedev.
• ❌ Still chasing maiden ATP title; struggles to convert runs past QF.

Márton Fucsovics

• 🔥 In peak form: 35–16 in 2025, among his strongest seasons.
• 💪 Stamina machine: 3 wins already here (Gaston, Griekspoor, Bautista-Agut) — straight sets last two rounds.
• 🎯 Slam tested: Wimbledon R3 (d. Monfils), Bucharest SF earlier this year.
• 📈 Hard courts: 13–3 this season, showing consistent reliability.
• 🏆 Career: 2 ATP titles, last in 2024.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Head-to-head: Fucsovics leads 1–0 (Stuttgart 2019, straight sets on grass).

Styles clash:

• Munar: attritional baseliner, thrives on grinding long rallies, disrupts rhythm, but limited first-strike power.
• Fucsovics: heavy forehand + flat backhand combo, baseline penetration, and excellent physical durability on hard courts.

Munar’s best hope is dragging points out and banking on fatigue, but Fucsovics’ fitness trend this year shows little sign of fading. The Hungarian’s serve has been reliable in Winston-Salem, making scoreboard pressure likely tilt his way.

🔮 Prediction

Stylistically, this tilts towards Fucsovics. Munar can win clusters of games through resilience, but sustaining scoreboard pressure against Fucsovics’ power and stamina is a tough task.

Pick: Fucsovics in 2 tight sets (7–5, 6–4). If it goes the distance, only Munar’s defensive depth and opportunism could steal it, but current form suggests the Hungarian won’t fade.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Form trend: Munar solid but capped; Fucsovics red-hot on hard.
• Surface fit: Advantage Fucsovics — 13–3 hard-court record this year.
• First-strike vs attrition: Fucsovics brings controlled aggression; Munar leans on rally grinding.
• Clutch factor: Munar shaky beyond QF; Fucsovics more comfortable deep in draws.
• Fitness & stamina: Both durable, but Fucsovics fresher despite heavy schedule.
