Dellavedova reaches 100 singles wins

Matthew Dellavedova, an Australian tennis player ranked 237th in the world, reached 100 professional singles victories on October 29, 2026, by defeating Lachlan Vickery in Tamworth, Australia. This achievement is notable as it marks the first time since 1982 that a player has reached this milestone.

Second victory in Tamworth

Dellavedova secured his 102nd victory on October 31, following the withdrawal of his compatriot Jeremy Beale from the semi-finals of the M25 in Tamworth. Dellavedova was leading 6-1, 2-0 when Beale withdrew, allowing him to advance to the final.

Season performance and success

This season, Dellavedova has played in nine singles titles, compiling a record of 102 wins and 33 losses. Much of his success has come on the ITF circuit, particularly in Asia, where he won 83 of his 107 matches before returning to Australia.

Future goals and upcoming match

Dellavedova's next goal is to qualify for the 2027 Australian Open. He will compete in the final of the M25 in Tamworth against his compatriot Philip Sekulic, the second seed, with the chance to win a tenth title this season.
