Hamad Medjedovic vs Stan Wawrinka Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Stan Wawrinka will be looking to continue his resurgent form when he squares off against the big-serving Hamad Medjedovic in the first round of the Open Occitanie in Montpellier on Wednesday.

It was a sizzling summer down under for Wawrinka, who impressed with some throwback United Cup performances for Switzerland before reaching the third round of the Australian Open, where he took a set off Taylor Fritz. As a result, the 40-year-old and wildcard this week is close to re-entering the top 100 in what is his last season on tour. Meanwhile, Medjedovic remains one of the most dangerous players on tour, but his fitness and consistency are still holding him back. The Serbian took a set off Alex de Minaur at the Australian Open before fading physically.

Indoors and quick courts should see both of these players hold serve fairly easily. Wawrinka has been seeing tiebreaks very frequently in his recent matches, while he's also rarely winning or losing in straight sets these days. It's tough to pick a winner on current form, so I'm going all in on the Overs - reasoning can be seen in the stats below.
  • Wawrinka has seen Over 22.5 games in six of his last seven best-of-three set matches
  • Wawrinka has seen at least one tiebreak in eight of his last 10 matches
  • Medjedovic has seen at least one tiebreak in three of his last four matches
  • Wawrinka hasn't lost or won in straight sets in nine of his last 10 matches at all levels
  • Medjedovic hasn't lost or won in straight sets in his last four matches at all levels
  • Medjedovic has a 19-8 record indoors at tour-level

Medjedovic vs Wawrinka Head To Head

This will be the first career meeting between the pair.

Hamad Medjedovic Form Analysis

  • 2026 Record: 2-2
  • ATP Montpellier Record: 0-0
  • Current Ranking: No. 80
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 57

Medjedovic hit a career-high ranking of No. 57 in August last year, but risks dropping outside the top 100 later this month as he is defending runner-up points in Marseille. The Serbian's other best results in 2025 were making the third round of Roland Garros and quarter-final runs in Mallorca and Winston Salem.

The 22-year-old has experienced a decent start to 2026. Medjedovic qualified for the Auckland main draw and beat Aleksandar Kovacevic before falling to eventual champion Jakub Mensik.

The Serbian also made the second round of the Australian Open, toppling Mariano Navone before going down in four sets to sixth seed Alex de Minaur after taking the opener.

Medjedovic is capable of hanging with the best players in the world, but he's not physically up to scratch and it's continued to prevent him from breaking into the top 50.

Stan Wawrinka Form Analysis

  • 2026 Record: 3-5
  • ATP Montpellier Record: 0-1
  • Current Ranking: No. 113
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 3 (2014)

Wawrinka has already improved his ranking over 40 spots in 2026 and he will be hoping to break back into the top 100, which would mean he would need less wildcards in his last season on tour.

The 40-year-old has clearly put in the hard yards during preseason - Wawrinka was in great shape and physical condition as he produced some impressive performances in the United Cup, defeating Arthur Rinderknech and taking sets off Hubert Hurkacz, Zizou Bergs and Flavio Cobolli.

The three-time major champion continued his great form at the Australian Open, where he defeated Laslo Djere and Arthur Gea to reach the third round, where he troubled fifth seed Taylor Fritz in a four-set defeat.
