Top seed Felix Auger-Aliassime is four wins away from making it back-to-back titles in two weeks at the 2026 ATP Rotterdam Open in the Netherlands. The 25-year-old Canadian is out for blood against Hamad Medjedovic of Serbia in the Round of 16 on Thursday. It will be a battle of the groundstrokes with both players relying heavily on baseline attacks to gain an upper hand. Can the two-time US Open semifinalist prove his worth on his favoured indoor hard courts yet again?
Auger-Aliassime has a strong record on hard courts, serving over 70% of his career aces on the surface. The World No. 6 has opened his season with a record of 6-2, including a championship run at the Open Occitanie. A former Top-5 sensation, FAA has nine singles trophies to his name. On the other hand, Hamad Medjedovic is yet to break into the Top-50 on the ATP Tour. With quality that lacks consistency under pressure, the Serb is currently No. 79 in the world. He defeated Belgium’s Zizou Bergs in two tiebreakers after going 1-1 in qualifying.
According to the tennis betting odds on BetMGM, Felix Auger-Aliassime (-375) is the favorite and Hamad Medjedovic (+280) is the underdog to win this clash at the Rotterdam Open.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Hamad Medjedovic Predictions & Picks
Our Pick: Total Games Under 21.5 at +118 Odds
When it comes to hard courts, Auger-Aliassime wins over 50% points on both first and second serves. It is the surface where he can trust the pace and bounce to hit fearlessly through the line. Furthermore, his venomous topspin groundstrokes get an extra bit of zip through the surface when it is indoor. Having won over 90% service games and 53% overall points this year, he is undoubtedly the favorite to advance to the quarterfinals.
One can expect several forehand to forehand exchanges, as Medjedovic also likes to run around to play his inside out powerplay. The markets are showing minimal fluctuation in terms of the result and handicaps, which is why the Canadian is an outright favorite. A potential 6-4 6-2 victory could be on the cards, with neither set likely to go over 10-11 games. This is why a bet on the total games being under the 21.5 mark is a best bet with returns of +118 on the moneyline.

The duo clashed later that year on the grass courts of Mallorca, where FAA prevailed in three gripping sets.
