JAKARTA Tennis player from Spain, Carlos Alcaraz, managed to carve out his 50th victory in the 2025 tour calendar to reach the fourth round of the Cincinnati Open 2025.

This achievement was engraved by the 22-year-old tennis player after he defeated Serbian tennis player Hamad Medjedovic, with direct sets 6-4 and 6-4 in the third round on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.

"I'm very happy because in this very difficult match, I can play my best game even though I feel bad," he said.

In addition, the result against Hamad Medjedovic is also the 13th consecutive victory that Alcaraz got at the 1000 Masters level event.

The first set between Medjedovic and Alcaraz was tight in the midst of Ohio's hot conditions. However, Alcaraz managed to steal the 4-3 mark before confirming victory in the opening set.

Medjedovic, 22-year-old and former Next Gen ATP Finals champion were the same as Alcaraz, then receiving treatment from physiotherapists due to problems with his neck.

He then had a chance in the second set to take the lead after a 3-3 score. However, two of his shots hit the net so Alcaraz turned ahead and ensured victory shortly after.

"I know he is a very tough player. His punches are very difficult to return. He also has strong service," said Alcaraz.

Alcaraz has won seven ATP Masters 1000 trophies in his career, including Monte Carlo and Roma titles in this year's tournament calendar.

He also managed to defend his French Open title by defeating world number one Jannik Sinner in an extraordinary final at Roland Garros, Paris, France, in June 2025.

Sinner then beat him back in the 2025 Wimbledon final a month later.

After appearing in Cincinnati, Alcaraz will fly to New York to take part in the US Open 2025, which is the last Grand Slam of the year.
