Hamad Medjedovic vs Laslo Djere: Astana Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Hamad Medjedovic’s first appearance in Astana last year ended disappointingly with a clear defeat by Luca Nardi in the qualifying round, with a score of 1-6, 3-6. However, this time around, he won’t need to go through the qualifying stage as he has received a main-draw wildcard, marking his second such opportunity on the main tour this year. His first wildcard entry was in Banja Luka, where he was eliminated in the opening round. This talented Serbian rising star has achieved notable success on faster clay surfaces, particularly in 2023. While he has shown promise on hard courts, he hasn’t quite matched that level of performance on indoor hard courts. During his debut season on this surface in 2022, he secured six wins but also suffered eight losses. In 2023, he has already lost two out of three matches on indoor hard courts.

Laslo Djere’s surprising quarterfinal appearance on non-clay tour-level surfaces occurred two years ago in Astana on indoor hard courts. This remarkable feat happened during his tournament debut, where he secured victories over Daniel Elahi Galan and Lorenzo Musetti in three hard-fought sets. Djere’s success indoors was unexpected given his limited experience in indoor tennis, resulting in a less favorable career win-loss record of 27 wins and 40 losses in such conditions. In 2023, Djere has showcased consistent performance across various surfaces, propelling him from the brink of falling out of the top 100 to a comfortable position within the top 40 of the ATP rankings. Notably, he has multiple opportunities to earn ranking points in the coming months, particularly after winning just one main-draw match in October and November of the previous year. In addition to his strong clay court performances, which include reaching the final in Hamburg and the semifinals in Kitzbuhel, Djere had a breakthrough season on grass, winning four out of eight matches. He also had notable moments on hard courts, including a memorable match in which he held a two-set lead against fellow countryman Novak Djokovic in the third round of the US Open.
