Daniil Medvedev showered Nick Kyrgios with words of appreciation after his win, he said, “It was a high-level match, (Kyrgios) played (like) Novak, Rafa. They all play amazing. Nick today played kind of their level, in my opinion. He has a little bit different game because he’s not like a grinder in a way. At the same time he can rally. He’s tough to play. He has an amazing serve. But from baseline it’s not like when the point starts, you know that you have the advantage. He plays good. He has every shot.”

“It was a really high-level match, I mean, from him. If he plays like this till end of the tournament, he has all the chances to win it. But he’s going to get tough opponents, so it’s not sure,” Medvedev added further.
