In the quarterfinals she will face another Russian, Karen Khachanov, who defeated Pablo Carreño 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, 4-6 and 6-3 in three hours and 21 minutes.

Often in the news more about his antics and abusive behavior on the court than his formidable tennis talent, However, Kyrgios gave a real recital against Medvedev in Sunday’s most famous match at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the center court of the US Open.

But apart from his amazing punches, everyone is in the fight.

Kyrgios, a Wimbledon finalist last year, threw his racket to the ground and received a “warning” for shouting an obscenity.

Even, the controversial tennis player’s most unusual moment was when he crossed the net next to his rival and hit the ball when he won the point but the ball had not yet bounced on the ground so he lost that point.

“It will go everywhere and make me look stupid“, Kyrgios joked in an interview at the foot of the track after the match.

Medvedev also had his share of the limelight in this heated match: he complained about what Kyrgios’ team said from the stands and He also criticized the Australian for not receiving a “warning” after throwing the ball into the stands.

In any case, the atmosphere between them also left moments of friendly sportsmanship, like on one occasion when the Russian came to Kyrgios’ side to ask about him after he suffered a spectacular fall.
