It remains to be seen whether the pair will be on better terms when they come out for their quarter-final later today. The Aussie is known to have held grudges against players like Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas for some time. The resulting argument has gone down in tennis folklore, especially after the world No 25 called his rival an ‘absolute pelican’. The pair have only met twice on the tennis court before, with the head-to-head record one match a piece, but have a history of verbally sparring on Twitter. His continued criticism of his tennis colleagues drew criticism from Khachanov especially after he called out Mats Wilander for his comments on Andy Murray. The Russian won the other match-up at the Cincinnati Masters in 2019.

'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.

"I was just really sick of letting people down," said Kyrgios as he explained a rejuvenation in his career which saw him reach the Wimbledon final in July.

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.

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.

“Not going to cry in the room, but I'm a little bit disappointed. “So that's not nice because honestly after such a match, when you lose in Grand Slam, look, I'm trying to look good here, but I'm disappointed. I've just got a lot of motivation at the moment. “I'm just trying to not let people down. “For the tennis world I think it's important as well. I'm really proud of myself because it hasn't been easy dealing with all the criticism. I wanted to get on that court and show them I am able to put my head down and play and win these big matches. People were really starting to doubt my ability to pull out matches like this at majors. "Obviously Daniil is the defending champion and a lot of pressure on his shoulders, but I've been playing great recently. And what a first set it was. 1 ranking once the tournament is over - with Rafael Nadal in pole position to replace him. 1 take on the recent Wimbledon finalist, and it was Kyrgios who played a level above, winning through 7-6(11) 3-6 6-3 6-2.

With another class win, this one over world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev, the Australian's reputation further evolves.

“I know the process now of what it takes to get to a final of a Grand Slam. Not to win it yet, but to get to the final. But I stay the same, where before I used to just ride the highs and lows way too much, and I was exhausted. The difference between the Kyrgios of just a few months ago and the man who leads the ATP in most tour victories since June is all mental. “I look back, it was just all a learning process to now because I’ve matured so much. He celebrated afterward by holding up a finger and smiling with glee, apparently unaware of the rule that had just cost him a break point. 1 in a month, a result that will knock Medvedev down in the rankings. Kyrgios took the final two sets in 74 minutes while Medvedev looked wearier with every point. After staving off three Medvedev set points, Kyrgios earned two himself and flubbed both, turning and thundering at the entourage in his player box. 10 battle in Montreal had gone the maximum three sets men play at tournaments that aren’t Grand Slams, and a raucous crowd settled in for the show.

I think that physically maybe that played a little bit of a role. “Physically I started feeling little bit worse in the third set, so I think that was a little bit the key. “I felt my throat a little bit today. “It's a pity because today I felt a little bit sick. “The thing is that in the lounge or somewhere I can cover myself.

Yeah, physically I started just feeling a little bit more tired.
