“It was an amazing match. Obviously, Daniil is the defending champion, a lot of pressure on his shoulders,” said the 25th-ranked Kyrgios, who is into the elite eight of a major for the fourth time. “But I played really well. I’ve been playing amazing the last couple of months. What a place to do it. Packed house in New York. I’m extremely blessed.”
A spot in the semifinals will be on the line when Kyrgios takes the court against 27th seed Karen Khachanov.
