The finish line loomed as near as the service line.
Nick Kyrgios streaked through it with the confidence of a man sprinting down hill.
A dynamic Kyrgios roared through five straight games toppling world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev 6-7(2), 6-4, 6-2 in a masterful Montreal performance today.
It is Kyrgios' second win over a reigning world No. 1 coming eight years
after he defeated top-ranked Rafael Nadal in the 2014 Wimbledon fourth
round.
"It was a tough match. I mean, I didn't go out there thinking that he
was world No. 1," Kyrgios said. "We played each other three times. He's
beaten me once, I've beaten him twice.
"I knew he was feeling confident so I had to come out there with a game
style that wasn't going to give him too much rhythm. I served and
volleyed pretty much every point. I've been serving well, volleying
pretty well. I thought why not completely switch it up. I returned
really well today, too. Had two set points in the first set. I was right
there from the get-go. So I'm really happy with the way I performed."
