US Open scores
Medvedev comes from behind to hold serve
Down 0-30 and 15-40, Kyrgios looks to be on the verge of breaking Medvedev in his very first service game but it’s not to be.
A few serves out wide and big ground strokes from very deep in the court – as Medvedev always does – sees the Russian level scores.
First set 1-1.

We take a look at the Kyrgios-Medvedev match at the Australian Open
Kyrgios and Medvedev are making their way into Arthur Ashe Stadium. Both look supremely focused and say their service games will be crucial to victory today.
They faced each other in the second round at the Australian Open.
Medvedev prevailed that evening in Melbourne 7-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
However, Kyrgios knocked off Medvedev 6-7(2) 6-4 6-2 in the Montreal Masters last month.
So can the Aussie spring an upset? You bet. Let’s just hope he keeps his head and doesn’t get distracted early if things don’t go his way.

That backhand winner from Coco Gauff is as good as it gets.

History proves Kyrgios can upset Medvedev
Intent on defying his detractors, Nick Kyrgios readily admits he’ll carry a siege mentality into his US Open fourth-round joust with world No.1 and defending champion Daniil Medvedev.
Proving his charge to the Wimbledon final was anything but a flash in the pan, Kyrgios has already exceeded his best-ever run in New York.
But the most polarising figure in tennis craves more and concedes the haters are driving his latest inspired grand-slam title tilt.
The 27-year-old can also bump the Russian off his world No.1 perch, with Rafael Nadal poised to return to the top of the rankings if Medvedev loses to Kyrgios.
