Milestone victory in Shanghai connects to Tsitsipas debut
Stefanos Tsitsipas marked a full circle in his professional career by collecting his 400th tour-level match victory in Shanghai, defeating Luciano Darderi 6-3, 6-4 in the second round without facing a single break point. The 28-year-old had earned his first tour win in the very same city nine years prior, when he overcame Karen Khachanov. With a career record of 400-204, Tsitsipas becomes the fifth male player born in 1990 or later to hit the 400-win plateau, following Alexander Zverev, Grigor Dimitrov, Daniil Medvedev, and Andrey Rublev.
Rublev secured his own 400th match win less than two weeks earlier during the event in Hangzhou, leaving the two contemporaries tied on total victories. Tsitsipas owns 13 career singles titles, including three ATP Masters 1000 crowns and the 2019 ATP Finals, having snapped a 17-month title drought earlier this season in Gstaad after altering his coaching structure. Rublev, meanwhile, has claimed 18 titles, featuring two Masters 1000 trophies alongside a win in Båstad.
The leaderboard of active ATP match winners
The achievement places Tsitsipas among the ten active competitors with the highest victory totals on the ATP Tour, a group currently facing impending departures. Kei Nishikori recently concluded his career after playing his final match at his home tournament in Tokyo against Frances Tiafoe. Additionally, veterans Stan Wawrinka and Gaël Monfils have indicated that 2026 will serve as their final campaign on tour.
