Daniil Medvedev was rusty coming into Geneva, obviously, having been off the tour since Miami due to a hernia—but a win over him is a big one no matter the circumstances, and for Richard Gasquet on Tuesday it was a double milestone.

First of all, Gasquet’s 6-2, 7-6 (5) victory over the No. 2-ranked Russian at the ATP 250 event was his 35th career win over a Top 10 player, making him just the 10th active men's player to record 35 or more career victories over the elite.

MOST CAREER TOP 10 WINS AMONG ACTIVE MEN’S PLAYERS:
232: Novak Djokovic
224: Roger Federer
181: Rafael Nadal
104: Andy Murray
58: Stan Wawrinka
45: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
41: Alexander Zverev
40: Kei Nishikori
39: Feliciano Lopez
35: Richard Gasquet

And second of all, it was Gasquet’s 10th career win over a Top 5 player (and the second-best win of his career by ranking).

GASQUET’S 10 CAREER WINS OVER TOP 5 PLAYERS:
No. 1 Federer (2005 Monte Carlo QFs)
No. 2 Medvedev (2022 Geneva 2nd Rd)
No. 3 Roddick (2007 Wimbledon QFs)
No. 3 Djokovic (2007 ATP Finals RR)
No. 3 Federer (2011 Rome 3rd Rd)
No. 4 Murray (2012 Rome 3rd Rd)
No. 4 Ferrer (2013 US Open QFs)
No. 4 Ferrer (2013 Beijing QFs)
No. 4 Wawrinka (2015 Wimbledon QFs)
No. 5 Ferrer (2008 Canada 3rd Rd)

Gasquet himself is a former Top 10 player, going as high as No. 7 in 2007.
