Daniil Medvedev vs Adrian Mannarino Highlights Day 4 of Libema Open

DEN BOSCH, Netherlands — The ATP 250 Libema Open enters an exciting Day 4 with several notable matches scheduled, including a clash between former runner-up Daniil Medvedev and former champion Adrian Mannarino.

Medvedev, who has struggled in recent matches, is looking to find his form on grass after a disappointing showing at the French Open. He hopes to advance past Mannarino, who defeated Christopher O’Connell with a convincing 6-1, 6-3 victory in the previous round.

“I always feel the pressure on grass, but I’m ready,” Medvedev said. “It’s a surface I enjoy when I’m able to play well.”

The two players are tied at 4-4 in their head-to-head meetings, but Mannarino has won two out of their three matches on grass, making this a vital match for both. Medvedev, currently ranked No. 11, claimed the Mallorca title on grass in 2021.

Meanwhile, Otto Virtanen is on a six-match winning streak and faces off against Nuno Borges. Virtanen aims to leverage his strong serve to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, while Borges looks to utilize his return game effectively.

In another matchup, Alexei Popyrin, ranked No. 21, seeks his first entry into the top 20 as he takes on Zizou Bergs, who recently achieved a career-high ranking by entering the top 50.

The day’s action also features Ugo Humbert against Daniel Evans. Humbert is expected to dominate this matchup, having had more recent success compared to Evans, who recently qualified for the main draw but is struggling with form.

As the matches progress, fans eagerly await to see which players will advance, with predictions leaning toward Medvedev overcoming Mannarino in a three-set battle.
