Daniil Medvedev triumphed at the Brisbane International, securing his 22nd career title in a distinct 22nd city.
Pitbull may need to clear some space — tennis has a fresh Mr. Worldwide, and he’s called Daniil Medvedev.
World No. 13 Medvedev began 2026 in impressive fashion, maneuvering and battling his way to the Brisbane International title and further enhancing his expanding passport collection. The victory wasn’t merely a trophy — it was a moment in history.
How Many Cities Has Daniil Medvedev Won Titles In?
Brisbane marked the 22nd distinct city where Medvedev has secured a trophy, indicating that all 22 of his career titles have been won in unique places around the world.
No duplicates. Simply unadulterated travel greatness.
The Russian’s victory in Brisbane also elevates him to world No. 12 and delivers a timely reminder before the Australian Open, where he has previously been a runner-up thrice (2021, 2022, and 2024). Although he might be ranked outside the elite group, Medvedev is confident that his performance is on the rise.
“I’ve been performing really well towards the end of the season,” Medvedev stated. “Six quarterfinals in my previous seven tournaments, several semifinals, two championships.” “When I perform at this level, few can defeat me.”
Brisbane represented his second victory in three months, having ended a two-year drought in Kazakhstan last October — a clear indication that the difficulties of 2025 might be behind him. In the previous season, there were early departures at all four Grand Slam tournaments, highlighted by a surprising second-round defeat in Melbourne against the young player Learner Tien
Since that time, Medvedev has reorganized his team, severing ties with longtime coach Gilles Cervara and collaborating with ex-Australian Open champion Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke.
“He confessed that the previous year was challenging.” “It was chaotic.” “Alterations to the team proved beneficial.”
He might arrive in Melbourne as a dark horse trailing Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. However, Medvedev thinks he is exactly where he desires to be: active, in shape, and difficult to halt.
