Next Gen Finals champion Hamad Medjedovic to continue Novak Djokovic association with training block before United Cup

Serbia’s young tennis star Hamad Medjedovic will be working alongside legendary Novak Djokovic before the start of the United Cup.

The 20-year-old is one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the circuit. He lived up to the hype after winning the Next Gen Finals after defeating France’s Arthur Fils in the final with a score of 3-4, 4-1, 4-2, 3-4, 4-1.

Medjedovic is often regarded as the heir of Djokovic and as per the latest report, he will work with the current world number one before the start of the United Cup. For someone who is still very early in his career, the Novi Pazar-born will be hoping to learn a great deal from one of the greatest players in the history of tennis.

Djokovic is the most successful player in men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won 24 Grand Slam titles. He had a fabulous time in 2023 where he ended up winning three out of four Grand Slams.

His only defeat in a major tournament in the season came in the final at Wimbledon where he lost to Spain’s young tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thriller contest with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
