What Time Will Duje Ajdukovic Play Against Laslo Djere?
Ajdukovic and Djere are on the Day 4 Schedule at Belgrade Open 2024 on Wednesday 6 November 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
In the upcoming match on Grandstand, we will see a first-time meeting between Duje Ajdukovic from Croatia and Laslo Djere from Serbia.
Duje Ajdukovic, at the age of 23, is currently ranked World No. 115. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 105 in September 2024 after reaching the semifinals in Bastad as a qualifier. This was his first ATP Tour semifinal, where he unfortunately lost in three sets to Nadal. Ajdukovic broke into the Top 200 in September 2023 and has a career record of 6-9, including one semifinal appearance.
Ajdukovic made his ATP Tour debut in 2021 at Umag as a wild card. He earned his first win by defeating Collarini and secured his second win in the 2024 Davis Cup against Belgium, delighting the home crowd in Croatia.
In the challenger circuit, Ajdukovic has an 88-70 record, with three titles. He won the 2023 Luedenscheid, 2023 Kobe, and 2024 Manacor tournaments. His biggest career win came against No. 60 Kotov on his way to his first ATP Tour semifinal in Bastad in 2024.
Ajdukovic left his home country at the age of 16 to train in Italy. He credits Italians Riccardo Piatti and Andrea Volpini for teaching him a great deal about tennis, but his compatriot Dino Marcan had the greatest impact on his overall game.
It’s worth noting that Ajdukovic entered the tournament as a lucky loser after the withdrawal of No. 1 seed De Minaur. His aim is to secure his first tour-level win on hard courts outside of Davis Cup matches and reach his second ATP Tour quarterfinal after his semifinal run in Bastad.
On the other side of the net, we have Laslo Djere from Serbia. At the age of 29, he is currently ranked World No. 141. Djere broke into the Top 30 after winning his first ATP Tour title in Rio de Janeiro in 2019 without dropping a set. He reached his career-high ranking of No. 27 in June 2019.
Djere dedicated his Rio title to his parents, Caba and Hajnalka, both of whom passed away from cancer. He also won his second title at the 2020 Sardinia, defeating his fellow countryman Lajovic on his way to victory.
Despite struggling on hard courts with a 15-44 career record and a 1-18 tiebreak record in 2022, Djere managed to earn five victories, including five tiebreak wins, en route to the final of the 2022 Winston-Salem. He achieved his biggest career win on hard courts by upsetting World No. 3 Ruud at the 2023 Auckland tournament.
In this tournament, Djere defeated former World No. 3 Wawrinka in the first round, and he is aiming to secure back-to-back ATP Tour wins for the first time since reaching the Stockholm semifinals in October last year. He is also looking to reach his 31st ATP Tour quarterfinal, his first on home soil, and his eighth consecutive quarterfinal appearance since 2017.
Therefore, this promises to be an exciting match between Ajdukovic and Djere as they both strive to continue their success in this tournament and advance to the next level of the competition.
