On stage, with his eccentric and well-known attitude, and on sports. As an example, the path of him in the United States. He has not yet conceded a set, saving all nine balls from break that he has had to face, and he shows off a formidable form. The Argentines Sebastián Báez (6-4,6-0) and Federico Delbonis (double 6-2), along with Casper Ruud, number 8 in the world, his victims. He had not played since the Australian Open, where he fell to Daniil Medvedev and won the doubles tournament teaming up with Thanasi Kokkinakis, acclaimed local pair, and will now contest their first ATP Tour quarterfinals since 2019, when they won in Washington.

Only the first two pieces of the domino. Gael Monfils, with his particular Showknocked down the most valuable piece by eliminating Medvedev, with the loss of number one for the Russian playerJenson Brooksby, young local pride, dismounted Stefanos Tsitsipas (5th) and Kyrgios himself, closing a surprise third round, was in charge of blocking Ruud’s way.
