If anyone can deny Medvedev back-to-back titles at Flushing Meadows, especially in Novak Djokovic's absence, it is the mercurial Kyrgios.Ī last-16 clash on Monday AEST would be worthy of a final, with officials unhappy to lose either of the two big drawcards before the quarter-finals stage. Kyrgios leads the Russian 3-1 head to head and he upstaged the top seed only three weeks ago in Montreal. Medvedev cruised into the fourth round with a straightforward 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Chinese qualifier Wu Yibing The Wimbledon finalist will likely need every ounce of energy for his last-16 match against Medvedev. Ushered on to Louis Armstrong at the same time as Tomljanović arrived at Arthur Ashe Stadium to face Williams, Kyrgios wasted only three sets and less than two hours on court. The win sets up a fourth-round showdown with world number one and defending champion Daniil Medvedev. As Australian tennis fans watched Ajla Tomljanović score an historic victory over retiring legend Serena Williams, Kyrgios was taking a back seat as he comfortably accounted for JJ Wolf 6-4, 6-2, 6-3.
