ATP Madrid Day 5 predictions like Medwedev against Cerundolo

The ATP Madrid Open has so far presented a lot of entertaining tennis, and the exciting campaign was to be continued on the fifth day with eight games on the slate in the Spanish capital. As always, we will offer our predictions for every game here at LWOT, including Alexander Zverev against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. But who will book her place in the 16th round?

ATP Madrid Day 5 predict

Jakub Mensik against Ben Shelton

Head to head: Mensik 1-1 Shelton

This will be a very interesting match with both young players in the form of 2025. Jakub Mensik enjoyed the best fourteen days of his previous career by winning the title Miami, and while he made it in Munich last week in Munich, the Czech will still be very dangerous on the Clay Courts. Ben Shelton had a good week in Munich and reached the final. Both players serve large and it will be important who can assert themselves from the base line. Expect that Mensik is this player on this occasion.

Alexander Brewsklik against Andrey Rublev

Head to head: Rublev 5-2 Buflik

These two are no unknowns for each other who have played each other seven times, but they have never met on the sound dishes. Alexander Buthskin had no dynamic in 2025 and it will be a very hard matchup for him against Andrey Rublev. The Russian enjoyed a walker in its first round and it will undoubtedly appear. Budikik may play with a lot of variety, but Rublev still has the power to beat him through the sound dishes.

Prediction: Rublev in 2

Benjamin Bonzi against Taylor Fritz

Head to head: first meeting

In his game of the second round, Benjamin Bonzi achieved a fantastic victory over the seventh seed Hubert Hurkacz and the Frenchman should take great hopes in this game. He faces Taylor Fritz, who plays his first tournament after Miami and the American looked good in his first round. Expect that Fritz will dictate terms from the baseline, but he can let a set fall on the way, even he is a difficult favorite to get forward.

Daniil Medwedev against Juan Manuel Cerundolo

Head to head: first meeting

You never know what you can expect from Daniil Medwedev on the sound dishes, but one thing is certain that he is fresher compared to his opponent. Juan Manuel Cerundolo has already played four games, including qualification rounds this week and he will undoubtedly be tired. Medvedev was quite loud about his views of Clay Courts, but he would undoubtedly have a good week here. Expect that Medledew is progressing from the baseline and progress.

Prediction: Medwedev in 3
