"It was an amazing match" - Kyrgios on win over Medvedev

Nick Kyrgios played an amazing match to defeat defendgin champion Daniil Medvedev in New York.

The Australian player needed four sets to do so but for the most part, he played even better than he did in his win over Medvedev in Montreal. The first set concluded with an epic tiebreak where Kyrgios prevailed and speaking after the match, he said:

It was an amazing match. Obviously, Daniil is the defending champion and a lot of pressure on his shoulders, but I've been playing great recently. What a place to do it. Packed house in New York. I’m extremely blessed."

Kyrgios further admitted he's proud of himself pulling through despite all the crticism:

"People were really starting to doubt my ability to pull out matches like this at majors. I'm really proud of myself because it hasn't been easy dealing with all the criticism. I’m just trying to make every practice session count, getting to sleep - I would probably be out every night before. I’m just glad I’m finally able to show New York my talent. I haven’t had many good trips here, to be honest.”
