The 2021 champion beat Australia’s Christopher O’Connell 6-2, 6-2, 6-7 (6/8), 6-2.
NEW YORK: Daniil Medvedev recovered from a mini meltdown to beat Australia’s Christopher O’Connell 6-2, 6-2, 6-7 , 6-2 and reach the US Open third round.
But O’Connell hit back and then saved two match points in the tie-break as Medvedev grew increasingly rattled, the Russian double-faulting twice to send the contest to a fourth set. Medvedev regrouped and surged 4-1 ahead, saving three break points in the seventh game as O’Connell received treatment to his knee, before finally sealing victory past 1am local time Friday.
