Daniil
Medvedev achieved his 100th career Masters 1000 win after a triumphant debut
against Jack Draper at the Rome Open. The Russian began the defense of his sole
clay title with a hard-fought victory over Jack Draper, winning 7-5, 6-4. The
champion of the 2023 Rome Open already has a record of 23-6 this season and
became the 11th player to reach 100 victories in Masters 1000 tournaments.
The former
world No. 1 has already etched his name in the history of Masters 1000 with six
titles, all in different tournaments. Only eight players in history have won
more titles than Medvedev's six in this type of tournament, in a list led by
the Big-3. Medvedev has an overall record of 100-44, making him the 8th player
with the best match record (69.4%).
Medvedev among the best in Masters 1000 tournaments
The Russian
has had good performances in virtually all Masters 1000 tournaments. He
currently holds 6 titles: Cincinnati Open, Shanghai Masteres, Paris-Masters,
Canadian Open, Miami Open, and Rome Open. In addition, he was a runner-up in
Indian Wells and a semifinalist in the Monte-Carlo Masters.

His worst
tournament is the Madrid Open, where he has only reached the fourth round (in
2023 and 2024). Nonetheless, he has accumulated 100 victories in 144 matches,
with notable achievements including 18 wins in Miami, 16 in Indian Wells, and
15 in Cincinnati.
Medvedev won his 6th Masters 1000 title one year ago at 2023 Rome Open, he defeated Holger Rune 7-5, 7-5.
At the Foro
Italico, Medvedev is the second seed after Novak Djokovic, and the absences of
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the draw give him a good chance in
defending his sole clay title so far. The Russian, who has 20 trophies in his
career, has never successfully defended a title before.
In the
third round, he will face the 20-year-old Hamad Medjedovic, who advanced
through qualifying and surprised the 30th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in
straight sets.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
