The first player to reach 300 match wins at the ATP Masters 1000 level

กระทู้ข่าว
Roger Federer has added yet another milestone to his long list of career highlights,
becoming the first player to reach 300 match wins at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 level.

The 33-year-old Swiss, who notched his first Masters 1000 win 14 years ago in Miami (d. Gimelstob),
posted a 7-6(4), 5-7, 6-2 victory over Canadian Vasek Pospisil on Thursday in Cincinnati
as he began his campaign for a sixth Western & Southern Open title.


“The Masters 1000s are the backbone of the tour,” said Federer.
“I know a lot of people talk about the Grand Slams; we care dearly about them,
but the majority of the tournaments are Masters 1000s, 500s or 250s.

“We have a certain obligation to play the 1000s, and I think that’s why they’re so popular,
that’s why the people show up because they know that the best players will most likely play.
I have a few exempts because I’ve been on tour for a very long time
so I don’t have to always play, but I choose to because they’re very prestigious
and I love playing them, so I’m happy I’m here.”
