Hamad Medjedovic won the first set 6-2 against Ugo Humbert at Queen's, taking the opening set in 25 minutes. The 22-year-old seized control early and the set ended after a 12-shot rally when Humbert played a forehand wide.
Medjedovic and Humbert: First Set
Medjedovic delivered a rapid opening set that left Humbert on the back foot; the Serbian’s pace across return games produced the two-break margin that created the 6-2 scoreline. Broadcasters captured the speed of the set: "Hamad Medjedovic has been superb and that's why he wins the set 6-2 in only 25 minutes. Him and Humbert flew through that."
Ugo Humbert Forehand Wide
Humbert sent the final forehand wide to end the set, the last point of a 12-shot rally that closed the 25-minute exchange. That single miss supplied the scoreboard detail that tilted the opening set; Medjedovic converted the momentum into a clear early lead on court.
Coverage of Day Four
Day four at Queen's carried multiple live results alongside the Medjedovic–Humbert match, and the broadcasters contrasted experience with form: "Humbert is the more experienced player, but if the last game taught us anything it is to expect the unexpected." The remark framed the contradiction on court—Humbert’s career experience versus Medjedovic’s fast start.
Medjedovic’s quick 6-2 set in 25 minutes matters because it forces Humbert to change his approach; a player trailing by two breaks after a short set typically needs to find service holds and sharper first-serve percentages to reopen a match. The source material does not list serve speeds or break-point counts, so the practical take for spectators is simple: Humbert required a stronger second-set start to neutralize Medjedovic’s early rhythm.
Other results shared the broadcast window: Rinky Hijikata beat Jiri Lehecka, Tommy Paul beat Botic Van de Zandschulp 7-6, 6-3, and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina beat Corentin Moutet 6-4, 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals. Those outcomes framed an active day at Queen's while the Medjedovic–Humbert encounter remained unresolved beyond the opening set.
Although Ugo Humbert was described as the more experienced player, Hamad Medjedovic won the first set 6-2. That contrast—experience cited by commentators but a rapid set loss on the scoreboard—creates the immediate storyline for viewers following the match live.
