Nick Kyrgios raises hopes of 1st slam title (Telegraph India)

Nick Kyrgios's finest season continues to get finer, and on Sunday he defeated No. 1 Daniil Medvedev, the defending US Open men's singles champion 7-6 ...

“I want to go all the way, and hopefully it’s possible,” Kyrgios said. The immensely gifted 27-year-old said he decided to put his focus into getting into great physical shape, which was on full display as he battled past Medvedev on a hot and humid night at Arthur Ashe. Despite the heartfelt nature of the news conference, Kyrgios could not help but toy with reporters, suggesting he may simply walk away from the sport if he captures his maiden grand slam title at the last major of the year. Spaniard Rafael Nadal, ranked third, is in pole position to reclaim top spot when the rankings are updated next Monday as he is defending no points. I just wanted to turn the narrative around... I just wanted to change that.” “I felt like when I was really struggling mentally, I was very selfish,” he told reporters. None of the four has won a major singles title, and if Kyrgios can maintain the level he displayed on Sunday, he is certainly a threat to any man still in contention at the US Open. 1 ranking after the US Open, rebounded to win the second set, Kyrgios quickly took command, breaking serve in the fourth game of the third set after Medvedev jumped out to a 40-0 lead. The other quarter final in the top half of the men’s draw will match No. “I’m just glad I’m finally able to show New York my talent,” Kyrgios said during his on-court interview.

'Never play tennis again': Why cheeky Kyrgios claim could become reality after US Open.

“Medvedev was throwing a lot at him – I was saying Medvedev will play long rallies, test him physically and he’ll win most of those points. “If you stand well back, did you notice he started serving and volleying. And he trains and he’s in shape and the guy’s phenomenal.” “We hope he won’t do that because there’s a phrase, I think it’s worldwide - ‘better late than never’. “If I had won that, coming back for other tournaments, like 250s, I would have really struggled. “We got to try and just tough it out and keep pushing each other, keep being positive.

US Open Stunner: Nick Kyrgios Upsets Daniil Medvedev, Who Will ... (ATP Tour)

Nick Kyrgios stunned defending champion Daniil Medvedev 7-6(11), 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 at the US Open on Sunday evening to reach the quarter-finals at Flushing ...

From the moment of his gaffe, Kyrgios dominated with his big serve and never allowed Medvedev to get comfortable. By rule, if a ball does not land on your side of the net and spin back to your opponent's side of the court, you are not allowed to touch the ball on that side. Kyrgios put a finger up in celebration, thinking he had just earned a spot on the highlight reel. The set got complicated as the Australian rediscovered his focus, but Kyrgios missed a neutral backhand long to allow his opponent to level the clash. Kyrgios put on the pressure from there, using his drop shot to great effect in the latter stages of the tie-break. Leading 1-0 and at 30/30 on Medvedev's serve, the 23rd seed rushed around the net and swatted away a ball that was not going to land anywhere close to the net. Kyrgios was unable to sustain his momentum, though, playing a poor opening service game in the second set. On the third of those set points, at 8/7, Kyrgios hit a tricky backhand volley that just clipped the singles line. Later in the first set, he would mix it up to give his big-serving opponent different looks.

"What a place to do it," Kyrgios said.

Nick Kyrgios dethrones Daniil Medvedev to reach US Open last eight (The Guardian)

Nick Kyrgios reached the US Open quarter-finals for the first time after a comprehensive victory over defending champion and world No 1 Daniil Medvedev.

Kyrgios had never played well in New York, his prior best result just a third round finish, yet now he is the clear favourite in his first quarter-final. He immediately threw in his worst service game and after four games, he was already on the verge of tanking the set. Medvedev had arrived at the US Open with the biggest target on his back but without the form to hold off his challengers. He returned brilliantly, deflecting 134mph serves to within centimetres of the baseline, and he enraged Kyrgios with his defence, soaking up all of the changes of pace, direction and spins. He had saved three set points with some audacious touches, but then as he generated his own, he was ground down by the immense durability and defence of Under immense pressure, Kyrgios gave the purest demonstration of his ball striking talent, exploding into a down he line backhand then immediately following it up with a delicate drop shot winner that set the tone for what was to come.
