Medvedev Dominates Match, Eyes ATP Masters 1000 Title

MADRID, Spain — Daniil Medvedev showcased his prowess on Sunday, winning decisively against Argentine qualifier as he seeks his first title since 2023.

“I felt good in practice here, but it’s not the same in a match,” said Medvedev after the victory. “For sure I was a bit nervous because we have a small superstition as tennis players: the worse you play before the tournament, the better you play in it.”

Medvedev, currently ranked No. 10 in the PIF ATP Rankings, seeks to complete semi-finals at all nine ATP Masters 1000 events, having already won six titles at this level. He will face American player in the next round.
