The prestigious Grand Slam in New York continued tonight (between Sunday and Monday) with the round of 16 when the one who secured his place in the top eight and in a particularly impressive way was Nick Kyrius, the bad boy of tennis, who continued his great year, beating Daniel Medvedev 1:3, with 6:7, 6:3, 3:6 and 2:6 at the end of two hours and 53 minutes.
The number 1 in the world, who went down 4:1 against the Australian, had to raise his hands against the one who qualified for the Wimbledon final, and tonight he qualified for the quarterfinals of the US Championship for the first time in his life.

"I've been playing amazingly for the last few months," Kyrius boasted to himself after the match, "Daniel is playing like a champion, but there was a lot of pressure on him. My recent successes only made me want more and more. I'm very happy that I was able to excel on a huge court like in New York." .
