Hamad Medjedovic made headlines just over a year ago when he became the champion of the Next Gen Finals 2023, but he failed to meet the high expectations that arose from that victory in the last season. At just 21 years old, the Serbian player possesses a clear potential that he aims to turn into successful outcomes.

Thus, it was surprising when he opted out of competing in the qualifying rounds of the 2025 Australian Open, despite the financial sacrifice involved. Instead, he is currently in Oeiras participating in a Challenger tournament, striving to break into the top 100 rankings for the first time. When asked about his reasons for this decision, Medjedovic, coached by Jorge Aguirre, was straightforward. "It's a very significant journey and it didn't guarantee me ATP points. Right now, I prefer climbing the rankings over earning money. I want to break into the top 100 as soon as possible," he stated.

Usually, the previous phase of any Grand Slam represents a tremendous motivation and joy for the players, especially in the financial aspect. It serves as a lifeline for many, in addition to providing a great opportunity to compete in the final draw. However, the 2025 Australian Open will feature a couple of glaring absences who seem to have chosen not to travel to the Antipodes. One such case is Hamad Medjedovic, who, despite being on the brink of the top 100, has opted to compete in a Challenger in Portugal instead of traveling to Australia; a similar path has been taken by Marin Cilic, who will play in Oeiras and not participate in a tournament where he once was a finalist. The other notable absence is Alexander Ritschard (ranked #118, who will also compete in Portugal).

Hamad Medjedovic seeks to be a prophet at home and end a season of many ups and downs on a high note. Inconsistency and injuries have hindered the breakthrough of a player who seemed destined to quickly climb the circuit, although in 2024 he has a hidden card that the Serbian is taking full advantage of. At the ATP Belgrade 2024, he has already reached the semifinals after easily defeating Fran Cerúndolo (6-4, 6-2), capitalizing on the fast conditions of the Center Court and adding continuity to the inherent aggression of his tennis. Will he achieve his golden baptism?

Other results of the day (quarterfinals):

  • Jiri Lehecka (4) d. Lukas Klein (Q) 3-6, 7-6(3), 6-3
  • Denis Shapovalov (Q) d. Christopher O'Connell 6-2, 6-2

Even Novak Djokovic has been present in the final battle for the title. Ultimately, Denis Shapovalov emerged as the favorite to win a very special trophy at the ATP Belgrade 2024. It is the first title for the current world number 78 since 2019, and the second of his career. Shapovalov defeated the Serbian with a score of 6-4 and 6-4 in 1 hour and 18 minutes of play to lift a trophy that can help him regain confidence.

The final phase of the qualification round that we have experienced in the last hours at Flushing Meadows. The last two matches that granted a spot in the men's final draw of the US Open 2024 were decided in the supertiebreak of the third set, with two remarkable comebacks: British player Jan Choinski defeated Maxime Cressy after saving three match points (two on the return), and classic player Quentin Halys came back in a match where he was a break down on three occasions in the decisive set against Jerome Kym. Diego Schwartzman and Hamad Medjedovic, due to their experience and potential, may be the two most outstanding qualifiers.

The 16 qualifiers for the final draw from the qualifying round:

  • Radu Albot
  • Li Tu
  • Hugo Grenier
  • Kyrian Jacquet
  • Diego Schwartzman
  • Gabriel Diallo
  • Mitchell Krueger
  • Otto Virtanen
  • Bu Yunchaokete
