Medvedev withstands Kyrgios, crowd to advance in Australia

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — Daniil Medvedev faced a hostile crowd and a full array of Nick Kyrgios’ outbursts and tricks, and still remained calm for long enough to reach the third round at the Australian Open. Told later that he may have misheard the boos, and that Kyrgios’ supporters were mimicking the “siiiuuu” sound that soccer fans yell when Cristiano Ronaldo scores goals, Medvedev said still “it’s not easy to play against the crowd.” “But they stay as fun matches afterwards because in the end, yeah, we gave the crowd a big show,” he said. But it’s a bit annoying, because I know it’s something that will heal in a few days — just unfortunate timing.” Second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka served nine double-faults in her first two service games, 12 in the first set and appeared to be on the brink of a second-round defeat before recovering to hold off 100th-ranked Wang Xinyu 1-6, 6-4, 6-2. I am a little disappointed, too,” said Muguruza, a two-time major champion and 2020 Australian Open runner-up who won last year’s season-ending WTA Finals.
