At precisely 1 a.m. local time, the first night session in this year's US Open history took place. Daniil Medvedev was honored to close the opening day and the Russian world number two did not have too long to make his first appearance at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
After an hour and 57 minutes, the 24-year-old was the winner against Richard Gasquet, 6: 4, 6: 3 and 6: 1 were the bare numbers from Medvedev's point of view. In the second round he gets up against the German Dominik Koepfer, who defeated Quentin Halys in five close sets.
Close, it was never at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in the game between Roberto Bautista Agut and Nick Kyrgios. The Spaniard was too ripped off, playing only seven games against the Australian and winning 6: 3, 6.4 and 6: 0. In the third set, Kyrgios only won six points. Bautista Agut now meets Emil Ruusuvuori.
