The World No: Hamad Medjedovic registered his first tour-level hard-court win of 2024 at the Belgrade Open with countryman Novak Djokovic watching from the stands.

The Serbian wild card edged past sixth seed Brandon Nakashima 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 to advance to the second round.

Medjedovic shook off a sluggish start to dial in on serve in the second, during which he won 86 per cent (19/22) of points behind his first delivery, according to ATP Stats.
