Command Analysis
Nick Kyrgios easily outplayed Liam Broady in three sets in his opening match of the major (6-4, 6-4, 6-3). The Australian tennis player was interacting with the crowd and performing tricks, which included underarm tweener serves among others. Kyrgios is in great shape and can create problems for second seed Daniil Medvedev in the upcoming match.
Daniil Medvedev also confidently won his opener, even though he didn't put up the same type of show as Kyrgios. The Russian closed Henri Laaksonen in three sets (6-1, 6-4, 7-6). In the third set, however, the athletes played a tie-break. Medvedev was the runner-up of last year's Australian Open. In the final match, he lost to Novak Djokovic (5-7, 2-6, 2-6).
