Nick Kyrgios has made it into the fourth round at the 2022 ATP US Open. At this stage of the tournament, Kyrgios is set to play against Daniil Medvedev from Russia.
Daniil Medvedev is the top seed at the US Open and will be backing his own ability to win the tournament. Medvedev enters this match having won his previous outing in straight sets. It was a dominant performance by the Russian superstar as he was able to win 6 return games by winning close to 50% of his receiving points. The US Open has always been a strong tournament for Daniil Medvedev and he is the reigning champion at this event. Medvedev will be very hard to stop at this tournament.
On the other side of the coin, Nick Kyrgios has also been in amazing form and will be hoping to make a huge impact at this tournament. Nick Kyrgios also enters this match having won his most recent outing in straight sets. It was a comfortable win for the Australian superstar as he won all of his service games and 5 return games. It has been a very strong few months for Nick Kyrgios as he made the final at Wimbledon and followed that up by winning the title at the Citi Open. This is expected to be a challenging match for Kyrgios but he will be hoping that he has what it takes to defeat the top seed.
