Brilliant from the Russian.

Nick is trying to win points quickly on his serve. 

But when Medvedev is able to establish the rally he looks comfortable. 

Kyrgios got it back to 30-40 with great serving. 

But again Medvedev created a rally and got the game.

Kyrgios was up 15-40 with Medvedev playing two poor shots to lose points.

But the Russian showed his call. Hanging in a rally to get it back to 30-40, before his serve bailed him out.
