Medvedev, Khachanov, Rublev and Kuznetsov pass by on a Russian day

Russian tennis successfully started the second day at the US Open in New York. Each one in a different way and with a different story, Danill Medvedev, Karen Khachanov, Andrey Rublev and Andrey Kuznetsov they managed to advance to the second round.

Medvedev (3rd favorite) passed over the Argentine Delbonis with a demonstration of superiority only comparable to that shown by Tsitsipas against Ramos on Monday. He dominated the match from start to finish with his usual ease of handling reverse directions and his reliable service. The Muscovite won 6-1, 6-2 and 6-4 in 1h: 46 and will face the Australian O'Conell. Khachanov (11th) had a very difficult time beating the young Italian pearl Jannik Sinner, who placed 68 winners and who he finally surpassed with a comeback in five sets (3-6, 7-6 (7), 6-2, 6-0 and 7-6 (4)). He will be measured against his compatriot Kuznetsov, who had not played for almost three years with hip problems, He arrived at the tournament unranked (but with number 130 protected by his injury) and easily beat American Sam Querrey (6-4, 7-6 (6) and 6-2). It was even easier for Rublev (10th), who struck down the Frenchman Jeremy Chardy (6-4, 6-4 and 6-3) and will face the Frenchman Barrere.

Another seed, the Norwegian Casper Ruud, won 4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 and 6-2 over American Mackenzie McDonald, who let himself go back when he had the game quite controlled, Rudd will play against the unknown Finn Emil Ruusuvuori, who threw the Slovenian Aljaz Bedene (6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 4-6 and 6-1). Marin Cilic, still very out of shape, passed Cain's to overtake American Denis Kudla, who put him in serious trouble. But he won 6-7 (3), 3-6, 7-5, 7-5 and 6-3 in one day with several comebacks. It will be seen with the Slovak Gombos. Grigor Dimitrov (14th), already overcome the coronavirus, was not entangled at all against the American Tommy Paul, whom he far exceeded (6-4, 6-3 and 6-1). The Bulgarian will run into the Hungarian Fucsovics.

Dan Evans (23rd) also did not suffer to lower the Brazilian Seyboth-Wild, whom he swept in three sets (6-2, 6-1 and 7-6 (5)). The British already knows that his next opponent will be the French Moutet. Milos Raonic (25th) is still in top form. The Canadian got rid of with amazing ease and 14 direct aces by Argentine Mayer (6-3, 6-2 and 6-3). Now he will have to fight with a compatriot, the activist friend of Djokovic Vasek Pospisil. Alex de Miñaur (21st) beat the Slovak Martin on the fast track (6-4, 6-3 and 7-5) to face the French Gasquet on Thursday. Matteo Berrettini (6th), semi-finalist last year, did not complicate his life against the Japanese Soeda and won 7-6 (5), 6-1 and 6-4 to face the Frenchman Umbert on Thursday. Nikoloz Bashilashvili (22nd) had a tough opponent for his debut and he choked. The Australian athletic John Millman, who in New York eliminated Federer two years ago, beat him well: 6-1, 6-4 and 6-4 and will meet the American Tiafoe.
