Alcaraz continues his impressive run at the Cincinnati Open this year with a notable victory over Serbian player Hamad Medjedovic. His next challenge awaits in the Round of 32, where he will face Italian contender Luca Nardi, who recently upset Jakub Mensik, Cincinnati’s 16th seed.

With his recent win against Medjedovic, Alcaraz matched a remarkable milestone previously set by a Serbian great; he has now secured 50 victories in four consecutive years, echoing Djokovic‘s accomplishments from 2013 to 2016. This feat had not been replicated until Alcaraz’s current performance.

In 2025, Alcaraz has compiled a stellar 50-6 record across tournaments this season, boasting nearly a 90% win rate. This impressive benchmark is only exceeded by Sinner, who has played 31 matches in 2025, achieving a record of 28-3.

Alcaraz Discusses His Heat “Immunity” at Cincinnati Masters

Spanish tennis sensation has been in spectacular form at the Cincinnati Open, shrugging off the oppressive heat that has reached temperatures exceeding 32 degrees Celsius. While the intense heat has forced other players, such as Daniil Medvedev, to resort to desperate cooling measures like immersing their heads in ice, Alcaraz appears unfazed.

In a recent interview, Alcaraz shed light on why he seems “immune” to the sweltering conditions during his morning matches. “I’m from Murcia, and it gets really hot there in the summer,” Alcaraz shared with Tennis Channel. “So I tell myself, ‘You have to get used to it. You’re already used to it.'” This resilience has given him an edge over the competition in Cincinnati.

With his focus firmly set on triumphing at the Cincinnati Open and the looming challenge of the US Open, Alcaraz is determined to continue his outstanding run. Regarded as one of the favorites for the tournament, he is also mounting pressure on Jannik Sinner in the race for the world number one ranking.

As defending champion Novak Djokovic isn’t playing this year, Medvedev, 25, is one of the favorites to take the ATP Masters 1000 tournament. However, he’ll have plenty of competition with other seeds like Alex Zverev, who is coming after winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics.

On the other side of the net will be Mackenzie McDonald, 26, No. 63, who will try to upset the 12-time ATP champions. It will be a hard task, but it’s tennis, so everything can happen. McDonald was close to winning his first ATP title last week in Washington, but Jannik Sinner beat him in the final.
