Defending champion Daniil Medvedev cruised into the fourth round of the U.S. Open with a straightforward 6-4 6-2 6-2 victory over Chinese qualifier Wu Yibing on Friday to set up a blockbuster clash with Australia's Nick Kyrgios.
Medvedev's win in front of an emotional Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd following Serena Williams' loss to Ajla Tomljanovic meant he has reached the round of 16 at Flushing Meadows for the fourth straight year. After sealing a closely-contested first set, Medvedev broke early and raced ahead 5-1 in the next and closed it out in style to take full control of the contest.
But a defeat to Kyrgios in the next round would see Medvedev lose his number one ranking to Rafa Nadal after the tournament.
