In Acapulco last month he recorded the 200th win of his career, and Stefanos Tsitsipas kept the milestones coming in Miami tonight, scoring his 50th Masters 1000 win with a 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-1 opening-round victory over American J.J. Wolf.

He’s the 111th player ever to reach 50 career Masters 1000 wins, but just the 8th player born in 1990 or later to do it (and first born in 1998 or later).

Tsitsipas has one career Masters 1000 title, winning Monte Carlo last year, and he’s been to another two finals, at Toronto in 2018 and Madrid in 2019.

Up next for the Greek in Miami will be Australia's Alex de Minaur.
