Daniil Medvedev will meet Liam Broady in the Round of 16 of the 2023 Qatar Open. The match will be played on Wednesday February 22nd, 2023.

Daniil Medvedev is the third seed here at the 2023 Qatar Open and is ranked 8th in the world. After a poor past few months he finally had a performance of note, winning the title last week in Rotterdam, coming from a set down to defeat Jannik Sinner. The Russian has been one of the best players in the world on this surface for a long time, and he will be hoping to maintain the momentum that he built last year. The draw has been kind to him and he will be the overwhelming favorite here against Liam Broady, and will want to build some momentum with a dominant win.

Liam Broady is ranked #140th in the world and has only won one match on the main tour this season, his First Round win over Oleski Krutykh. After some impressive wins in the Qualifying Rounds, especially over Nikolosz Basilashvili, he was able to overcome the Ukrainian in three sets. While he will be pleased at his performance so far, he will now have to step up a few levels in quality and face former number one in the world Daniil Medvedev. The odds are heavily stacked against him here and he will have to play the match of his life to have even a sliver of a chance.

This will be one way traffic, with Daniil Medvedev cruising to victory in straight sets. He is simply the better player in all areas, and his confidence will finally be high after a title run last week. Broady will fight his hardest, but won’t have anything close to enough here and will go down in two sets at the 2023 Qatar Open.
