In the last few years, many people have noticed Daniil Medvedev's unique habit of winning all of his career titles at different tournaments—as of now, he's at 20 and counting.

Well, Andrey Rublev is building a very similar resume.

With his triumph at the Mutua Madrid Open on Sunday, the 26-year-old has now won a total of 16 career ATP titles, and they’ve all come at different tournaments in different cities.

RUBLEV’S 16 CAREER TITLES (listed alphabetically by city):
Adelaide, Australia in 2020 [ATP 250]
Bastad, Sweden in 2023 [ATP 250]
Belgrade, Serbia in 2022 [ATP 250]
Doha, Qatar in 2020 [ATP 250]
Dubai, UAE in 2022 [ATP 500]
Gijon, Spain in 2022 [ATP 250]
Hamburg, Germany in 2020 [ATP 500]
Hong Kong, Hong Kong in 2024 [ATP 250]
Madrid, Spain in 2024 [Masters 1000]
Marseille, France in 2022 [ATP 250]
Monte Carlo, Monaco in 2023 [Masters 1000]
Moscow, Russia in 2019 [ATP 250]
Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 2021 [ATP 500]
St. Petersburg, Russia in 2020 [ATP 500]
Umag, Croatia in 2017 [ATP 250]
Vienna, Austria in 2020 [ATP 500]

That's 14 different countries, too—the only two countries he’s won multiple titles in are Russia (Moscow in 2019 and St. Petersburg in 2020) and Spain (Gijon in 2022 and now Madrid).

His next opportunity to win the same ATP event twice will come in mid-July, if he plays the ATP 500-level clay-court event in Hamburg, where he won in 2020 (and has played twice since).

Rublev will rise from No. 8 to No. 6 on Monday.

Rublev joins a pretty nifty club with his victory in Madrid, too—having won Monte Carlo last year, he’s now one of just five active players to win two different Masters 1000 clay-court events in their career, after Rafael Nadal (who’s won Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome and the now-ATP 500 event in Hamburg), Novak Djokovic (Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome), Andy Murray (Madrid and Rome) and Alexander Zverev (Madrid and Rome).

Additionally, the 10-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist will rise from No. 8 back up to No. 6 when the new ATP rankings are released on Monday, as well as from No. 8 to No. 5 on the year-to-date Race To Turin, which lead to the season-ending ATP Finals.
