The later the break, the more enthusiastic the reactions of the fans. And so Nick Kyrgios at 5: 5 in the fourth set against Gilles Simon started to take the Frenchman's serve. What made the audience in the Melbourne Arena happy. The fact that the local hero served reasonably safely for 6: 2, 6: 4, 4: 6 and 7: 5 also brought a positive note to the evening from the Australian perspective. In the previous match, Alex Bolt had finally lost to Dominic Thiem in five sets.
Kyrgios has thus fulfilled his duty, now the freestyle is imminent. At first maybe against Karen Khachanov, then against number one in the world Rafael Nadal. The Russian and the Spanish played their matches in parallel with Kyrgios. It was a tough match, a fifth set would have been interesting, said Kyrgios in an interview with Jim Courier.
Already in the afternoon session Daniil Medvedev had prevailed against the Spanish qualifier Pedro Martinez. Medvedev, however, has been drawn into the second quarter and could not meet Kyrgios, Nadal or Khachanov in the semifinals.
