Medjedovic Faces Altmaier in Open 13 Provence Quarterfinal Showdown

MARSEILLE, France — Hamad Medjedovic will face Daniel Altmaier in the quarterfinals of the Open 13 Provence on Friday, February 14. Medjedovic enters the match as a strong favorite with odds of -235, against Altmaier’s +180.

The tournament, held at Palais des Sports de Marseille, features Medjedovic, the No. 96 ATP-ranked player with a match record of 5-6 this year, showing significant momentum after a straight-sets victory over Karen Khachanov. His performance against Khachanov, a former top-10 player, adds weight to his chances of advancing.

“I’m feeling confident in my game. Each match has helped me find my rhythm, and I plan to keep that going against Altmaier,” said Medjedovic ahead of the match. He has a 70.1% implied probability of winning according to current odds.

On the other side, Altmaier, ranked No. 80, has also secured his spot in the quarterfinals with recent victories, including an impressive win over Luca Nardi. However, his underdog status comes from the overall higher expectations for Medjedovic, whose recent form has been more imposing.

The quarterfinal match will follow an earlier lineup including No. 8 Daniil Medvedev battling Jan-Lennard Struff. Tennis fans can tune in via local broadcasts on Sky Sports Tennis and in the U.S. on Tennis Channel.

“I know the challenge ahead of me. Medjedovic has been playing really well, but I’m prepared for a tough battle,” said Altmaier during a press conference. “I thrive in scenarios where I’m underestimated, so I’ll be bringing my best performance.”

This encounter not only highlights the talent present in the ATP 250 event but sets the stage for potential future clashes as both players continue their ascent in the tennis rankings.
