The in-form Aleksandar Kovacevic hopes to continue with his strong start to the season when he takes on qualifier Hamad Medjedovic in Auckland. They will face off in the first round, marking their fourth career meeting. Below is our prediction for this match.
Medjedovic has started the year with back-to-back wins. The Serb is making his season debut in Auckland and won both of his qualifiers in straight sets. And with his dominant record against Kovacevic, he will be confident of maintaining this 100% start.
Medjedovic has won all three previous duels with his upcoming opponent, most recently in last year’s tournament in Cincinnati. The 22-year-old is up to 94th in the live ranking.
Aleksandar Kovacevic will fancy his chances of ending Medjedovic’s winning streak against him. The American has had a superb opening to the year. Starting 2026 earlier than Medjedovic, Kovacevic is coming off a semi-final run in Brisbane.
He won three of four matches at the event, defeating the likes of Cameron Norrie and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Kovacevic’s run in Brisbane was only the third time since the 2023 campaign that he has contested a tour semi-final.
The 27-year-old starts a new week ranked 54th in the ATP.
