MELBOURNE, Jan 18 — Nick Kyrgios put behind “17 hours a day” in bed with Covid to set up a blockbuster second-round showdown with tournament favourite Daniil Medvedev at the Australian Open today.
The victory set up a clash with world number two Medvedev, who won his opening-round match against Henri Laaksonen. There was doubt he would even make it to Melbourne Park, but in his first match since September he showed little effect of the inactivity and illness. “I isolated and I was lucky enough to have a tennis court to practise on. I served really well today, I’m just happy to be here again.”“I was obviously concerned that I wouldn’t be physically ready to play, I took it day by day and I’m just so pumped to be here in my first match of the year, on my most favourite court in the entire world.”
