:Daniil Medvedev looked like he had a point to prove as the Russian got preparations for his U.S. Open title defence back on track with a 6-4 7-5 win over Botic van de Zandschulp in the second round of the Cincinnati Open on Tuesday.
The Australian marched through with 29 winners - including 10 aces - and three breaks of the Spaniard's serve to reach the second round. The 28th-ranked Kyrgios has won all 11 of his first-round matches this season and won his 22nd match since returning to the ATP in June after skipping the clay season. He now faces good friend Taylor Fritz after the American crushed Sebastian Baez 6-1, 6-1. "Physically, I didn't feel the best, but you have to keep pushing, keep trying," Kyrgios said. "Alejandro's a hell of a player, he's got a lot of shots at his disposal. I had to serve well and dictate," the Montreal quarter-finalist aded. "It was tricky conditions out there, the courts are a lot more lively than Montreal, it was harder to control the ball."
Jemimah Rodrigues jokingly compared herself with the likes of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. Rodrigues shared a collage on social media that contained the images of all three of them. In the picture, Dhoni and Virat could be seen using their stretching ability to save their wickets during their batting, while Jemimah also held a similar pose to save her wicket in one of her matches. While posting the collage, the youngster funnily wrote: "Looks like I'm now part of Elite Company."
Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt feels that Australia great Ricky Ponting shouldn't have compared Suryakumar Yadav with former South Africa star AB de Villiers. Ponting was all praise for Suryakumar, who is currently the second ranked batter in ICC T20I rankings. Speaking on the ICC review, Ponting had said that Surykumar's 360-degree style of batting reminds him of de Villiers. However, Ponting's comments did not go down well with Butt, who feels that world cricket has not seen a batter of de Villiers's caliber.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting feels Suryakumar Yadav must bat for India at no. 4 in T20Is, especially with T20 World Cup set to be held later this year. Suryakumar has been in fine form with the bat, which has seen him rise to the second spot in the ICC men's T20I ratings. He scored 135 runs in four T20I during the recently-concluded tour of the West Indies. Despite suggesting that Suryakumar can open the batting for India, the legendary Australia batter feels that the no. 4 spot is best for the Mumbai batter as he can control things in the middle for the team.
