A day after a grueling 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 first-round win over Karen Khachanov, Daniil Medvedev had a quicker day at the office in Doha on Wednesday, storming past Zizou Bergs in straight sets in the second round of the newly-upgraded ATP 500 event, 6-2, 6-1.
And with that victory over the Belgian, Medvedev hit a major milestone—it was the 300th hard-court win of his career.
The 2021 US Open champion and former No. 1 is the first man born in 1996 or later—or even 1992 or later—to hit that number.
MOST HARD-COURT WINS, MEN BORN IN 1990 OR LATER (tour-level):
- 312: Grigor Dimitrov [born in 1991]
- 300: Daniil Medvedev [born in 1996]
- 281: Alexander Zverev [born in 1997]
- 264: Milos Raonic [born in 1990]
- 244: Andrey Rublev [born in 1997]
- 223: David Goffin [born in 1990]
- 210: Stefanos Tsitsipas [born in 1998]
- 208: Taylor Fritz [born in 1997]
- 201: Alex de Minaur [born in 1999]
No other men born in 1990 or later have hit 200 yet.
Kei Nishikori would be on the above list had he been born just a few days later—the former world No. 4, who was born on December 29th, 1989, currently has 300 career hard-court wins, too.
