pa href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/daniil-medvedev/mm58/overview'Daniil Medvedev/a advanced to the a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/us-open/560/overview'US Open/a third round for the seventh consecutive year Thursday when he raced past Hungarian a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/fabian-marozsan/m0ci/overview'Fabian Marozsan/a 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(5)./p

Chasing a second major trophy this fortnight, the 2021 champion was dialled in from the first ball. He resembled a brick wall from the baseline and struck the ball with depth from every corner of the court. Medvedev looked to pick on the Hungarianrsquo;s backhand and when Marozsan opened his racquet head to slice, the 28-year-old went into attack mode./pp“The match today, I felt like an Italian restaurant. The food is great, the aftertaste is great but your head is like — so noisy,” Medvedev assessed in his on-court interview. “All the match I was like, ‘Try to focus! Try to focus!’ It was a fun feeling./pp

“I managed to stay really solid, some great moments, and I’m really happy to be through to the next round.”/p[ATP APP]

The opening set featured six breaks of serve, including three consecutive breaks to start the match. Medvedev stuck to his trademark deep return position, which Marozsan countered with drop shots. But the fifth seedrsquo;s quick speed allowed him to cover any dropper. When Marozsan came to net, Medvedev ripped passing shots by the 24-year-old or forced him to hit volleys at his feet./p
pDespite making just 47 per cent of his first serves, Medvedev was nearly flawless in rallies, committing 25 unforced errors to Marozsan’s 45, across the two-hour and four-minute match./pp

After early losses in Montreal and Cincinnati, Medvedev has appeared to put those defeats behind him, improving to 37-13 on the season following Thursdayrsquo;s win. The 20-time tour-level titlist is seeking his first trophy since Rome last year./ppEarlier, #NextGenATP a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/jakub-mensik/m0ni/overview'Jakub Mensik/a mounted a comeback from two-sets-to-love down and saved two match points to survive Australian a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/tristan-schoolkate/s0n0/overview'Tristan Schoolkate/a 6-7(4), 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(5), 7-6(3).
