Surely a tricky opponent in the form of his life awaits in SF for Med. Their only match happened in the R2 of the USO back in 2022, where Daniil won in straight sets. Many things have changed since then, though, and both are different players at the moment. Med seems to be slowly finding his old form, while Rinderknech should be in the best form he's ever been. I expect a relatively close contest, with Med's experience and hunger for returning to battles for the big titles prevailing in the end.
Prediction: Med in 2 close sets.
