Hamad Medjedovic vs Dominic Stricker: Preview
Coming into the ATP Next Gen Finals, Hamad Medjedovic had high hopes and he delivered when it came to the grand stage. In his very first match against Alex Michelsen, the Serbian player had to secure a hard-fought victory. In an intense 5-set battle, the Serbian managed to clinch victory with the score line of 4-2, 4-3, 3-4, 3-4, 4-3. Looking to carry his form, he faced second-seeded French star Luca Van Assche.
While the odds were highly relying on the French star, it was the Serbian who turned things around and secured a win in 4 easy sets. The final scoreline of the match was 4-2, 2-4, 4-3, 4-1 in Medjedovic’s favor. Looking to end his group stage campaign on a high, he faced Jordan’s Abedallah Shelbayh. After going down in the first set he quickly managed to turn things around and secure an easy win with the score line of 3-4, 4-2, 4-3, 4-2. With this perfect record in the group stage of the Next Gen finals.
On the other hand, his opponent did not have a great run in the tournaments so far. Out of three matches that he played, Dominic Stricker managed to win just one among them. The victory came against Luca Nardi. The Swiss player managed to defeat the Italian player in straight sets with the score line of 4-1, 4-1, 4-2. His last group stage match was against Arthur Fils. However, a defeat for the Swiss star in the final group-stage match meant that he ended his campaign on a wrong note.
Medjedovic vs Stricker: Head-to-head
The head-to-head stats between the two players are tied at 0-0 each as they haven’t faced each other yet. Their meeting at the ATP Next Gen Finals will be the first one along the line. With a chance to take an early lead in the head-to-head stats, both the players will be giving in their everything to secure a win.
A win would not only help them take a head-to-head lead but would also ensure qualification into the finals and just one step away from title glory.
Prediction: Medjedovic could secure a win against Dominic Stricker and make his way into the finals
As things stand, the form that Medjedovic has shown in the group stage makes him a clear winner to dominate the match and take the victory home. Winning 3 matches out of 3 and that too in a group that featured some of the most promising youngsters in the tennis world is no joke.
However, his opponent Stricker is also known to perform when it comes to the grand stage. With a ton of potential behind him, he would be looking to overturn his group-stage disappointment and make his way into the finals. However, it is only time that will reveal who among the two makes it through.
