After the first set I was thinking this could be another Medvedev heartbreak, but what a way to turn it around and claim the title.

3. u/AnemicRoyalty10 · 2026-10-25 12:09 UTC

Oh I know what you mean. He choked four different critical points in that set. But credit to him for staying focused and bouncing back.

4. u/WolfTitan99 · 2026-10-25 12:04 UTC

Well thats just a repeat title, this was actually a defense of back to back years, so its sweeter!

UR RIGHT THATS EVEN BETTERRRRRR

Servevedev is winning only 250s and 500 this year. :( Should've done better at Wimbledon and USO.

7. u/WolfTitan99 · 2026-10-25 12:20 UTC

Ugh I know, he did great at Indian Wells though. Definitely should have done a bit better at Wimby and USO I agree.

8. u/am_anonymous427 · 2026-10-25 12:33 UTC

He was good in Rome too. Still can't believe he was double bagelled in Monte Carlo though😭

9. u/WolfTitan99 · 2026-10-25 12:40 UTC

He got quite a soft draw in Rome honestly. Monte Carlo was... idk chalk that up to a case of the Mondays? Bizarre match.

US Open and Shanghai were wide open for him. While his general form in smaller tournaments seems to have ticked up, he’s still falling short in the major ones.

Med of AO 2027 and USO 2028!

here we go!

🙌

Medvedev has become quite the 250 specialist over the last year

14. u/Open_Carob_3676 · 2026-10-25 13:06 UTC

Casper Ruud type shit

15. u/colfitsky · 2026-10-25 16:13 UTC

He’s the Bublik of this year.

2026: Medvedev finally wins a tournament for the 2nd time, and defends a title for the first time. Zverev wins 2 Slams. The ATP screenwriters are completely freewheeling at this point.

They let AI write the script and it hallucinated a bit

18. u/thegoldenkingfisher · 2026-10-25 12:59 UTC

Its training data was only till 2021

19. u/hojichaaaaa · 2026-10-25 12:53 UTC

And ADF won 3 titles

20. u/Towairatu · 2026-10-25 13:45 UTC

Including a M1000! My bad for forgetting Foki.
