Nick Kyrgios beat top-ranked defending champion Daniil Medvedev 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-2 in the National Bank Open. ()

Krygios, the Australian ranked 37th, won last week in Washington for his seventh ATP Tour title. Medvedev won last week in Los Cabos, Mexico.

바카라Today I had a very clean objective of how I was going to play, a lot of serve-and-volley, a lot of aggressive play from the back,바카라 Kyrgios said.

바카라I executed better than he did, that's all it comes down to. He won the first set and I feel like I had opportunities there as well, so hopefully I can just keep this rolling.바카라

Kyrgios is 3-1 against Medvedev and has won 14 of 15 matches, with the loss coming to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.

바카라He played very well,바카라 Medvedev said.

바카라The only thing that was a shame for me is that I played him so early because he is fit. He's among the top 10 or 15 players, so he will soon be a seeded player. It's a shame to have such a player as an opponent in the first (match).바카라

Earlier, American Tommy Paul beat second-seeded Carlos Alcaraz of Spain 6-7 (4), 7-6 (7), 6-3.

바카라I felt the pressure of being the second seed in this tournament and world No. 4,바카라 Alcaraz said.

바카라It's the first time I've felt this pressure and I couldn't handle it.바카라
