US Open 2022: Stefanos Tsitsipas shocked by Daniel Galan as Daniil Medvedev wins first match.
- Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was stunned by Daniel Galan in the US Open first round, as Daniil Medvedev made a winning start to his title defence.
The World No. 94 Galan, who won the match with a ninth match point, defeated the 24-year-old Greek in four sets despite not being able to win any of the first 11 games.
American Stefan Kozlov was defeated by Russian world number one Medvedev 6-2 6-4 6-0.
In New York last year, Medvedev, 26, won his first Grand Slam match by defeating Novak Djokovic,
who was barred from entering the country because he had not received the Covid-19 vaccine.
After his easy victory at Arthur Ashe Stadium, he will face Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in the second round.
Galan, a Colombian qualifier, will next take against Australian Jordan Thompson after making his main-draw debut at Flushing Meadows in New York and earning the biggest victory of his career.
