Medjedovic leads the rivalry 1-0, having beaten Landaluce 2-0 in the Istanbul Challenger semi-finals on hard court on 7 September 2024. That meeting was not on clay, so it should not be overstated, but it still matters because Medjedovic controlled the scoreboard and won 12 games to six. His service numbers were also stronger that day, which adds a useful reference point before another high-pressure meeting.

Landaluce M.
On clay this season, Medjedovic has gone 13-2, while Landaluce stands at 7-5. That gap is not just about volume; Medjedovic has also won 32% of return games on the surface, compared with Landaluce's 26%, giving him the clearer route to scoreboard pressure. Landaluce has saved break points at 71%, though, so he has shown enough resilience to keep sets tight.
Medjedovic has won eight of his last 10 matches, including his first three in Rome and a semi-final run in Barcelona. He has also taken the opening set in 80% of those matches, a useful sign in a best-of-three contest where early control can quickly shape the match. Landaluce is 5-5 over the same span, but back-to-back Rome wins over Marin Cilic and Mattia Bellucci give him a live recent angle.
Bookmakers price Medjedovic at 1.57 against Landaluce at 2.38, with first-set prices of 1.62 and 2.3. That is a clear but not overwhelming lean, which fits the data: Medjedovic has the broader edge, while Landaluce's latest results stop this from looking one-sided.

The key theme is whether Landaluce can protect enough service games to stay level. Medjedovic's clay return rate and stronger first-set trend suggest he is more likely to create the first real pressure, while both players come in after recent back-to-back action and similar workloads over the last five matches. Small physical margins could matter, but the statistical balance still sits with Medjedovic.
Prediction
Hamad Medjedovic
Martin Landaluce
The data points towards Medjedovic, mainly because his clay-season record, recent win rate and market position all align. Landaluce has enough current momentum to make this competitive, especially after two Rome wins, but Medjedovic's return pressure and previous win in the match-up give him the stronger overall case.
