Daniil Medvedev played – and won – his first match since June, and cracked a milestone as a result. The top-ranked Russian defeated Rinky Hijikata, 6-4, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals in Los Cabos.

The 26-year-old had to rely on the media to find out about his milestone. He is 250-109 lifetime on the ATP Tour, and 28-10 on the season.

"Somebody told me this a few days ago at media day, otherwise I would not have known," Medvedev said of the reaching the 250-win milestone. "That's probably a milestone in a way. For sure I want more victories but that's also nice to have 250.

"We'll try to get more."

For the past decade, if you were to ask me what my dream hunt was, my answer would have probably been a 50/50 split between grizzly in Alaska and hunting axis deer in the Texas Hill Country. As grizzly hunts continue to shoot up in price and dive down in availability, I decided I needed […]
