There’s no shame in losing to a player like Medvedev, says Kirios

Australian tennis player Nick Kirios says he wouldn’t be ashamed to lose to world’s number one racket Daniel Medvedev in the US Open fourth round match, noting the presence of a game plan against the Russian.

On Friday, Kirios beat American Jeffrey John Wolf in the third round of the US Open, Medvedev beat China’s Wu Yibin.

“Whether I win or lose, I will be happy if I stick to my game plan. I think my level is high now. Now, there are only a few players who play tennis at a higher level than me, if not at the same level.

There’s no shame in losing to a player like Medvedev. But I feel like I have a fighting chance. Few players can say that now they will play against Medvedev at the US Open. I think they enter the field without confidence in their victory. I am certainly one of those who have a chance.

I had wins over him, but that was a long time ago. At the Australian Open, I felt that my level was not up to par. I played poorly and he was at his peak. I just wasn’t close to the player I am now. That’s for sure. We respect each other a lot, I also respect his coach a lot. He’s a great guy,” Kirios told a press conference.
