Will the Kempen native take revenge on the Serb?
Daniel Altmaier has not only knocked fourth seed Taylor Fritz out of the competition, but also Vit Kopriva. For the third time after 2020 and 2023, the Kempen native is in the third round at Roland Garros and now has the chance to take revenge on Hamad Medjedovic. He lost to the Serb in a very close match on Valentine’s Day 2025 in the quarterfinals of the Open 13 Provence in Marseille, 1-2. Once again, the odds are stacked against Daniel Altmaier in his match against Hamad Medjedovic.
We don’t think it’s very likely that the up-and-coming Serb, who had never won a singles match in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament before the 2025 French Open, will remain without losing a set after his two remarkable 3-0 victories. Hamad Medjedovic’s prediction that the player from Kempen will once again put up a good fight against Daniel Altmaier is therefore quite reasonable.
Overall, it would also be worth considering betting on the German reaching the round of 16. While the fast indoor surface was more conducive to the Serb’s game in the last meeting between the two players, the slow red clay of Paris plays into the hands of the more experienced Daniel Altmaier. Nevertheless, after two convincing 3-0 victories, we would not completely write off Hamad Medjedovic.
Hamad Medjedovic – Statistics & current form
21-year-old Serbian Hamad Medjedovic has been a regular on the ATP Tour since 2023 and has already made a name for himself. At the end of his debut year, he won the Next Generation ATP Finals in Saudi Arabia, beating Arthur Fils 3-2 in the final. Since then, he has reached the final of two ATP Tour tournaments. However, he has yet to win his first major singles title.
At the end of 2024, the Serbian lost 0-2 to Denis Shapovalov in the final of the ATP Belgrade. This February in Marseille, where he defeated his current opponent Daniel Altmaier 2-1 in the quarterfinals on his way to the final, local hero Ugo Humbert proved too strong in the final. Hamad Medjedovic lost this match as well, but still has 30 wins from 58 singles matches on the ATP Tour.
Hamad Medjedovic has yet to lose a set
At the 2025 French Open, Hamad Medjedovic has now won his first match in the main draw of a Grand Slam men’s singles tournament. He followed up his confident 3-0 opening victory over Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak with another win. It was also 3-0 in the second round against the up-and-coming Argentine Juan Manuel Cerúndolo (ATP 109). The Serbian played with remarkable confidence and rarely took risks. This was reflected in 47 unforced errors, but he was rewarded with 44 winners – almost twice as many as his Argentine opponent (24).
Overall, the hard-hitting 21-year-old achieved an impressive 48 percent return point percentage. This figure explains why the odds are now clearly in favor of the world number 74 in the match between Hamad Medjedovic and Daniel Altmaier. Betano is offering odds of just 1.55 for the Serbian shooting star to win and currently has a Betano $20 free bet on offer.
Daniel Altmaier – Statistics & current form
26-year-old German Daniel Altmaier celebrated his big breakthrough five years ago right here in Paris when he reached the round of 16 at the 2020 French Open – as a debutant at Grand Slam level. As a qualifier, the Kempen native advanced to the fourth round with three straight 3-0 victories, even eliminating Matteo Berrettini, the seventh seed.
The parallel to this is now clearly visible, as Taylor Fritz, who started as the fourth seed at Roland Garros, fell victim to the world number 66 in the opening match. The 3-1 victory was followed by a similarly strong performance in the second round against Czech player Vit Kopriva, whom Daniel Altmaier also defeated 3-1. Accordingly, Hamad Medjedovic’s prediction for Hamad Medjedovic vs. Daniel Altmaier is that the German will reach the round of 16 of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in five years.
Daniel Altmaier shows strong nerves in the decisive rallies
The clay court is definitely Daniel Altmaier’s best surface. On the slowest of all surfaces in professional tennis, the ball loses a lot of speed on impact, which takes away much of the fear factor for the ATP Tour’s big servers and opens up opportunities for players with strong returns, such as the Kempen native. It is no coincidence that the German has not achieved a higher win rate than 25 percent in any of the other three Grand Slam tournaments, while at the French Open he won 66.6 percent of all singles matches played (eight out of twelve).
Particularly noteworthy is the 26-year-old’s nerves of steel. Against Vit Kopriva (ATP 86), he scored 69 percent with his first serve and 55 percent with his second serve, but allowed 19 break points. However, the German saved 17 of these 19 break points (89 percent). Because he also converted five of his only six break points, this was ultimately what made the difference.
Hamad Medjedovic – Daniel Altmaier Head-to-head record
Head to head: 1:0
The first and only meeting between the two players took place on Valentine’s Day this year. At the Open 13 Provence in Marseille, Hamad Medjedovic prevailed 2-1 against Daniel Altmaier in a very close quarter-final match (7-5, 6-7, 6-4). After their duel on fast indoor courts, the two players will now face each other on clay for the first time.
Hamad Medjedovic – Daniel Altmaier Tip
All in all, our prediction for Hamad Medjedovic against Daniel Altmaier leans toward the German. However, the two clean 3-0 victories of the promising Serbian youngster caught our attention. Although the odds of 2.62 for a victory for the player from Kempen are tempting, the risk is still a touch too high. Despite a strong overall performance, Altmaier ultimately had more difficulties in his first two matches and also had to survive periods of strength from his opponents. In addition, he lost 1-2 to the young Serb in a close match in Marseille three and a half months ago.
ut is possible that this Serbian-German duel will also go the full distance, in which case physical fitness could ultimately be the deciding factor, which slightly favors the 21-year-old Serb, who has had significantly shorter matches so far. Instead of a win bet, we are therefore betting that Daniel Altmaier will win over 1.5 sets.
For the German to win at least two sets, the odds for Hamad Medjedovic against Daniel Altmaier are 1.69, which we are betting on with seven units at Bet365.
