*Medvedev 0-1 Kyrgios (* – denotes next server)

After Kyrgios’ ace, we have a rather tame rally that ends when Medvedev gets the proverbial rush of blood to the head and hits wide. Kyrgios errs on the next point, but Medvedev returns the factor.

Boom. Ace. 133 mph. Ouch.

No, the match hasn’t started yet.

This isn’t even a Serena-ceremony night. Tomorrow’s a US holiday, so I guess no one’s in a hurry.

OK, here we go – Medvedev won the toss and let Krygios serve first. Ace.

Kyrgios tells ESPN’s Patrick McEnroe that he’s looking forward to playing the best player in the world in the best stadium in the world.

Both players agree that their serve will be very important. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if a player said otherwise?

Thanks very much to Tom for getting this party started. We’re looking forward to a great matchup that starts at 7 pm US Sports Time (9am AEST), which means maybe … 10 minutes?

While we wait for the players to take court, here’s what Coco Gauff was doing earlier on Arthur Ashe:

These two have played each other twice already this year with the series tied at 1-1. Kyrgios won the last meeting at the Masters tournament in Canada. But it was Medvedev who won a four setter the last time they met at a grand slam: on Kyrgios’ home turf at the Australia Open. Kyrgios won the other two matches between the two, in 2019.

The evening crowd is filing into Arthur Ashe stadium after that win from Gauff earlier. It’s a humid, warm night in New York, so this one will be a leg-sapper for both men if it goes long. Or medium, for that matter.

A bit of news from the women’s draw: home hope Coco Gauff is through to the quarter-finals after overcoming Zhang Shuai on Arthur Ashe in the match before this one:

Beau will be here shortly, in the meantime here’s how Nick Kyrgios fared in his last match:

Nick Kyrgios continued his stirring progression in New York in an off-Broadway setting at Flushing Meadows on Friday night. As Serena Williams, the 23-time grand slam champion, was sent into probable retirement by fellow Australian Ajla Tomljanovic, Kyrgios was blitzing JJ Wolf 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 in 1hr 55m on nearby Louis Armstrong Stadium.

In a normal US Open, a Friday night outing on Armstrong would scarcely be a sideshow, such is the electric vibe that can be felt on a court that is grand in its own right. Kyrgios is the best supporting actor to start the US Open and the Wimbledon finalist was never seriously challenged by Wolf, a hard-working wildcard entry.

But with the American underdog Wolf giving his all, the atmosphere was particularly lively. “Amazing. It was a very tough match for me. I know JJ is a hometown favourite, so I really had to be on my guard today,” Kyrgios said.
