Statistical Dominance Despite Setback
Novak and Hamad were able to maintain a firm grip on the match despite losing a difficult second set. They delivered 13 aces while winning 75% of their first-serve points. At the start of the third inning, their return demonstrated their determination. After two hours and 10 minutes on the court, they secured the victory.
Strong Singles Performances Set the Tone
A strong start for Serbia preceded this doubles victory. Djokovic and Miomir Kecmanovic had already won their singles matches on Saturday, giving Serbia a 2-0 lead going into Sunday. One more win was all they needed to go ahead, and that’s exactly what Djokovic and Medjedovic did with authority and precision.
A Step Forward for Serbia’s Tennis Legacy
This victory is significant beyond the match itself. Serbia is now closer than ever before to reliving those glory days after winning the Davis Cup by defeating France in an exciting final of 3-2 in 2010. For Novak, who was part of this championship-winning team, this victory achieves another step forward in his storied career; however, for Medjedovic, it bears a different weight.
21-year-old Hamad Medjedovic is already creating quite a stir in the world of tennis. Sunday marked just his second appearance at the Davis Cup; he had won against Norway’s Viktor Durasovic last year on singles. He also recently reached an ATP Challenger Tour event’s final and was awarded the NextGen ATP Finals trophy in 2022, which makes him one of the brightest stars on the Serbian tennis horizon. His performance together with Djokovic during such an important match may indicate that he could be able to carry the national team at the future Davis Cups.
