Overview
- Alex de Minaur meets Hamad Medjedovic in the Australian Open second round as the first night session on Rod Laver Arena, scheduled for 7:00 pm (AEDT) Wednesday.
- De Minaur has outlined a plan built on elite movement, flat ball-striking and court positioning to neutralise Medjedovic’s heavy serve and groundstrokes.
- Medjedovic, 22, is regarded as a dangerous big-hitter who has challenged top players, with reports noting past endurance issues in longer matches.
- The Nine Network (Channel 9/9Gem) will broadcast the match free-to-air in Australia, with full 4K streaming available on Stan Sport.
- A victory would set up a third-round meeting with either Frances Tiafoe or Francisco Comesana, with Alexander Bublik and Carlos Alcaraz potential later opponents.
