Russian Daniil Medvedev, the No. 4 seed, beat Argentine qualifier Marco Trungelliti 6-4, 7-5 to reach the third round of the Cincinnati Open on Sunday evening, his first win of the North American hard-court swing after a second-round exit to Botic van de Zandschulp in Montreal last week.

The win was also a milestone one: Medvedev’s 100th career win in a Masters 1000 event on hard courts, a tally built on titles at five of the six hard-court events on the circuit, Cincinnati (2019), Shanghai (2019), Paris (2020), Canada (2021) and Miami (2023), with only Indian Wells missing from the set. It was his 32nd win of the season.
The match was Medvedev’s first under Andrey Golubev, the former world No. 33 he has brought in on a trial basis for Cincinnati and the US Open after ending his partnership with Thomas Johansson. Trungelliti, ranked No. 90, had reached the second round by beating Serbia’s Hamad Medjedovic 7-5, 7-6 (2).
