Yesterday evening Beijing time, a second round of men's singles focus matches at rodrawall stadium was played against last year's runner-up, second seed Medvedev and local bad boy Kyrgios.
Although the two now have a world ranking difference, in the previous record of the meeting, Kyrgios led 2-0. One of the most famous clashes between the two sides occurred in the final of the 2019 Washington Open, when Kyrgios defeated Medvedev and eventually won the championship.
Before that, the two had different positions in the tennis world. Although Kyrgios was grinning and unscrupulous, everyone knew that he was the star of tomorrow. Gifted, he was given high expectations and was expected to be the next Hewitt.
Medvedev did not make a name for himself until that season, and even later than his compatriot Rublev.
But that year's Washington game also became a watershed in the two's careers, the highest level of The Kjergaus's career so far, and his latest time in the tournament.
Although he can occasionally play games like last year's ATP Cup vs. Tsitsipas, Wimbledon and Harley champion Amber in five sets, and last year's Australian Open and Tim played five sets, it was still lackluster overall.
The most important thing is not on the arena, off the court, he is fighting verbal battles, but also domestic violence, and he does not focus on tennis. What's even more frightening is that he has lost too much interest in tennis and bluntly says that retirement is not far off.
Medvedev, on the other hand, took a very different path. In 2019, after winning consecutive runners-up at the Washington And Canada Masters, he finally managed to see the moon and win the Cincinnati and Shanghai Masters titles in succession, achieving back-to-back feats.
Not quite, he also reached the final of the US Open that year, becoming the first men's singles player after 95. Although he eventually lost to Nadal, he also played five sets.
In 2020, he won the Paris Masters and the last London Finals, and the US Open once again reached the final four.
Last season, he reached the final of the Australian Open, but lost to Melbourne king Djokovic. After being hit hard by his opponent in three sets, he was painfully determined and achieved revenge on the US Open at the end of the year.
Facing Djokovic, who wanted to achieve the annual Grand Slam, he also returned a 3-0, winning a grand slam for the first time in his career.
The two careers went low and went high, and the other went low, reflected in yesterday's game.
Although Kyrgios also won back a city, but overall he was far from his opponents, and eventually lost 1-3, and he also seemed convinced when he shook hands. (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
