“Someone told me this a few days ago,” Medvedev said after the match. “Otherwise I would not have known. That’s nice, a milestone in a way.
“I want more victories, but that’s nice to have 250. We’ll try to get more.”
Medvedev is playing his first tournament since bowing out of the quarterfinals at Mallorca on June 23.
