Kyrgios up the break and threatening to get the e-surance one.

He will serve for the match 5-2 Oi,Oi,Oi,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nick seals the deal with a love service game 6-2 Oi,Oi,Oi,
Kygrios d Medvedev 67 (2) 64 62!

 

[Moxie]

He did it! Good on ya, Nick! Would love to see this kind of match closer to a final, if Nick can commit to it.

Nick continues to live rent free insides of Daniil's head. Its has been this way for the past 3-4 years

Apart from playing a poor t/break, he was up for this match up.

Jason Goodall said something interesting shortly ago...that Nick said early on that he was disappointed to see Medvedev in his draw. But Goodall suspected he wasn't being 100% truthful on that, as he gets up for the big matches. Fair point, I think.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

With this win from Nick K he will move to No 32 in ranking good enough to be seeded at the USO,at present, he could play fellow Aussie Alex de Minaur next

That's some faux #1 we have here! How embarrassing! Sascha might pass him w/o even playing since Daniil can't defend his titles!

Oh, please. I'm giving Mededev a bit of leeway from having been pushed out of the whole of June for being Russian. He won in Mexico, but he's not quite as match-tough as Kyrgios, is that fair to say?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nick K will play fellow Aussie Alex du Minaur in his next match for the 1st time

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to Marin Cilic scoring his 350th hard court win, with victory over Karen Khachanov.Joins Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray as the only active players to achieve that. ( I have met Marin at a tennis tournament one of the nicest guy's who would wish to meet).

Taylor Fritz comes back 0-4 down in the 3rd set to beat Frances Tiafoe 5-7 61 64 he will face Rublev or Evans tomorrow

Oh, bummer! I like Fritz, but I was hoping for Tiafoe.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am tuning into FAA match, I must say I have been disappointed with his form of late

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rublev is having a 'mini anger meltdown' just hit his knee with his racket he lost the 1st set 64 to Evans and is down a break in the 2nd set

How stupid of an athlete do you have to be to hit yourself in the knee?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

LOL! still Rublev has a habit when he gets angry banging himself with a racket,

 

[Fiero425]

How stupid of an athlete do you have to be to hit yourself in the knee?

RA Russian player brought forth blood smashing his racker strings against his head years ago! Horrid look as it streamed down his face!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rublev will have time now to fix up his knee, Evans defeated him 64 64

That's two consecutive weeks Big Foe has given 2 winnable matches away. Not to mention that epic collapse he had against Korda earlier on the clay. Like Iga, he needs to start working w/ a traveling shrink.
