Looking ahead, Medvedev will face Portugal’s Nuno Borges in the Round of 16, set to take place on Monday, September 2.
“I said before the match that for me, the upsets don’t really matter. The only thing is that when the conditions are a bit tricky, the favorites maybe have less margin than the other guys. You just have to be more cautious,” Medvedev said, as quoted by ATP Tour.
“If I play good tennis, I can win the whole thing. If I don’t play well, I can lose against anyone.”

The 2021 champion and two-time finalist has now reached the second week at Flushing Meadows for six straight years.
