“If he plays like this until the end of the tournament, he has every chance to win,” said Daniil Medvedev.
Australian Nick Kyrgios decided the defending US Open champion Russian Daniil Medvedev in the third round of the men’s singles match of the tennis tournament.
The 27-year-old Kyrgios won the game played in New York 7–6 (13–11), 3–6, 6–3, 6–2 and advanced to the quarterfinals.
“Nick played today in a way at the level of Novak and Rafa”, 26-year-old Medvedev said after the match, referring to today’s big names in the sport to Novak Djokovic and to Rafael Nadal.
Medvedev said the Australian’s style of play is a bit different. He also praised her passes.
“If he plays like this until the end of the tournament, he has every chance to win,” Medvedev summed up.
Medvedev was ranked first and Kyrgios ranked 23rd in the tournament.
Kyrgios will next face the Russian, 26 years old Karen Khashanov. He is ranked 27th in the tournament.
Last in the year’s final, Medvedev crushed Serbia’s Djokovic, who this time had to miss the second tournament of the season due to his lack of vaccinations.
Due to the Russian ban, Medvedev was not seen at the Wimbledon tournament, where Kyrgios once again got to shine. At that time, Kyrgios advanced to the tournament final after Nadal had to leave his game.
