"There is one guy, I don't know if he has a girlfriend or wife, but I don't know how his girlfriend or wife is going to sleep because he is so pumped up that he's going to, at the night, say, 'Vamos, vamos, vamos, vamos, vamos', just nonstop. So, I feel sorry for him," the 27-year-old said.

After beating Sebastian Baez, Daniil Medvedev will take on 13th seed Alex de Minaur in the fourth round of the US Open. The Aussie reached the Round of 16 of the New York Major by beating 23rd seed Nicolas Jarry 6-1, 6-3, 6-2.

Medvedev and De Minaur will lock horns for the seventh time, with the Russian leading 4-2 in the head-to-head. However, the Aussie triumphed in the last two meetings between them, most recently in the quarterfinals of the Canadian Open in Toronto, where he won 7-6(7), 7-5.

Interestingly, Medvedev's fourth-round opponent at last year's US Open was also an Aussie, Nick Kyrgios, and the Russian ended up losing the match.

Whoever out of Medvedev or De Minaur will win, will take on either eighth seed Andrey Rublev or Jack Draper in the US Open quarterfinals.
