Young Serbian tennis star Hamad Medjedovic has revealed that
he is ‘happy’ to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Novak Djokovic. The
20-year-old is one of the most highly-rated young tennis players among those
who are tipped to achieve great things in the future.
Medjedovic was recently quoted in a report where he stated how
special it was to win the ATP Next Gen Finals as he became the lowest-ranking player
to achieve that feat and also talked about how special it was to be in the same
team with the current world number one in the Davis Cup.
“I can’t believe I have won this title but it’s going to
give me a lot of confidence for 2024,” he said. “Arthur is an amazing player –
he’s top 40 for a reason – so I’m really happy. It was tough after the first
set. I changed my clothes and recovered and started to play good again.
“I didn’t play good when I had match points in the fourth
set. I wasn’t relaxed, I was very stiff. Thank God I recovered and I was just
trying to stay relaxed as much as I could and I managed to do it in the end. Two
of us from Serbia. He won the big Masters [ATP Finals], the real one, and I won
the Next Gen. Obviously it’s a huge thing and I’m happy to follow in his
footsteps in some way.”
Djokovic is often termed the greatest player in the history
of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand
Slam titles in his illustrious career. The Serbian legendary tennis star had a
fabulous 2023 where he won three out of four Grand Slams — the Australian
Open, the French Open and the US Open — and ended the season with the ATP Finals
title triumph in Turin.
