How cool. “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. He didn’t even win most of those [longer] points. “The way Kyrgios is serving, I don’t care where you stand. I like him, he moves the needle. The guy was serving at 70% – I don’t think people realise that’s the highest on tour, how big he serves, how good his second serve is – now he is backing it up big time. If you stand well back, did you notice he started serving and volleying. And that is despite missing out on 1,200 points for finishing runner-up to Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis passed up two match points before being eliminated in the US Open doubles at the round of 16 stage on Tuesday.

The nature of this year's US Open draw sees Kyrgios have a relatively straight-forward path to the final - with tough matches but no tennis monoliths in his path. In their first pairing at a major since winning the Australian Open, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis raced to a comfortable lead in the match, claiming the first set 6-3. Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis passed up two match points before being eliminated in the US Open doubles at the round of 16 stage on Tuesday (AEST).

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.

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.
