Francisco Cerundolo, a 26-year-old Argentine player, is currently ranked No. 29 in the world. He reached his career-high ranking of No. 19 in June 2023 after making it to the fourth round of the 2023 Roland Garros, where he defeated No. 8 Fritz in the third round. In 2022, Cerundolo broke into the Top 100 and achieved a new career-high ranking 11 times. He moved into the Top 25 in July 2022 after defeating No. 5 Ruud to win his first ATP Tour title in Bastad. Just a week later, he defeated No. 8 Rublev to reach the semifinals in Hamburg.

Cerundolo captured his second ATP Tour title at the 2023 Eastbourne, becoming the first Argentine ATP Tour champion on grass courts since Frana in 1995. He also made history at the 2022 Miami tournament, where he reached the semifinals as the lowest-ranked player at No. 103 in the tournament’s 37-year history. He was also the first player to reach the semifinals in his ATP Masters 1000 main draw debut since Janowicz in 2012 Paris.

In Cerundolo’s family, tennis runs in the blood. His father, Alejandro, also played professional tennis, and his younger brother, Juan Manuel, won the 2021 Cordoba title. His sister, Constanza, represented the Argentine field hockey team that won a gold medal at the 2018 Youth Olympics.

Cerundolo is currently the highest-ranked player remaining in the draw and is seeking his 12th ATP Tour semifinal. He has a record of 5 wins and 6 losses in semifinals, with 2 of those wins coming on hard courts (2022 ATP Masters 1000 Miami and 2024 Almaty). In 2024, he has captured 8 of his 16 career indoor wins, including notable victories over top players such as No. 7 Rublev in ATP Masters 1000 Paris 2R and No. 9 Ruud in the Laver Cup.

On the other hand, Hamad Medjedovic, a 21-year-old Serbian player, is currently ranked No. 156 in the world. He broke into the Top 200 in March 2023 and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 102 in October 2023 after reaching his second ATP Tour semifinal in Astana. Medjedovic made his ATP Tour debut at the 2021 Belgrade-2 and earned his first tour-level win at the 2023 Davis Cup.

Medjedovic has qualified for the main draws of Grand Slams at Roland Garros in 2023 and 2024, Wimbledon in 2023, and the US Open in 2024. He has a solid record in the Challenger circuit, with a 44-30 record and 4 finals appearances, winning three titles in 2022 and 2023. In the junior rankings, he reached a career-high of No. 9 after winning titles at the 2019 Berlin Grade 1 and 2019 New Delhi Grade 2 without dropping a set.

In his career, Medjedovic has a record of 2-0 in ATP Tour quarterfinals, reaching the semifinals in Gstaad and Astana in 2023. He has faced Top 30 players four times, winning only once against No. 29 Lehecka in the 2023 Astana quarterfinals. Now, Medjedovic aims to achieve his biggest win yet by defeating Cerundolo.
