Medvedev adds another city to his record: 24 titles in 23 different locations
Daniil Medvedev won his third ATP title of 2026 and the 24th of his great career after defeating his compatriot Andrey Rublev in the final of the ATP Hangzhou with a score of 7-5, 6-4, after one hour and 35 minutes of play. In this way, the former world number one confirms his dominance on hard courts: 22 of his 24 titles have been on hard surface.
However, his victory in Hangzhou leaves another statistic that confirms the variety of titles that Medvedev has won throughout his career. Of these 24 trophies, he has won 23 in 23 different cities. In his twelve years as a professional tennis player, he has only repeated a title once: the ATP 500 in Dubai in 2023 and 2026.
And this latest title he adds to his collection comes after a week without many complications. He debuted with a victory against Valentin Royer 7-6(8), 6-3 and fought in the quarterfinals to defeat Coleman Wong 6-3, 6-7(2), 6-3 in three sets, while in the semifinals he overcame the always demanding Roman Safiullin also 7-5, 6-4.

Medvedev closes in on the fifth spot in the ATP ranking held by Auger-Aliassime
After a forgettable 2025, with early-round losses in the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and US Open, it seemed that Medvedev had entered a bottomless pit, while announcing his separation from Gilles Cervara, the coach with whom he reached the top of the ATP ranking.
However, he hired Rohan Goetzke and Thomas Johansson and gradually began to find his tennis again. He won the ATP 250 in Almaty at the end of last year and came very close to qualifying for the ATP Finals. In 2026, he regained his lost consistency, especially on hard courts, where he won in Brisbane and Dubai and reached the final in Indian Wells.
Now, after this triumph, he securely occupies the number 6 spot in the ATP ranking, although he is only 30 points away from the fifth position held by Félix Auger-Aliassime.
