Australian Nick Kyrgios is playing at 27 years old as he was expected to do when he revealed himself as an exceptional player, with qualities that would challenge anyone’s dominance of the sport. Known for his controversial reputation, through his actions and his statements, as well as his disinterest in working on the racket, he found a way to enjoy tennis, compete freely and be motivated.
the end of Wimbledon showed the new face of the Australian, world number 37, who recently made a double in Washington ATPdominating himself and paired with his compatriots Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Another proof of his rise is his victory against the world number one, the Russian Daniil Medvedev, by 6-7 (2), 6-4 and 6-2 in 1h.59′. The ‘aussie’ took out the reigning Masters champion in the second round Canadian 1000 ATP, which in this edition takes place in Montréal, while Toronto hosts the women’s event following its annual rotation.
Medvedev, who dominated last week ATP Los Cabos (Mexico)after weeks of not playing since he couldn’t play Wimbledon due to an organizational veto, he couldn’t break Kyrgios’ serve, finding a ‘break’ in the opening game of the second set and twice in the third.
Kyrgios has won 14 of his last 15 singles matches. He was the horror of the draws until he continued his climb up the ranks and started as the top seed. The hype has played a trick on Medvedev, who is suffering his third loss in four matches against the Australian, whom he defeated earlier in the season at the Australian Open. It’s not the Nick so far and it’s the best of five sets.
Medvedev lost 1,990 points in the ranking, remaining at 6,885. Alexander Zverevlow, has 5,760. Rafael Nadal presenting 5,620 and Carlos Alcaraz5,045.
In CincinnatiNext week, Nadal will have a mathematical option to regain the world number one, which will be very close to the US Open if the stomach injury is forgotten and he has two good competitions. In New York Medvedev will show 2,000 points, while Rafa only adds until the end of the season.
In Cincy Nadal had to win the tournament for the second time in his career and that Medvedev did not reach the quarterfinals.
