Daniil Medvedev was back to his winning ways on hard court, beating Hugo Gaston 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in the first round of the US Open on Sunday after struggling earlier in the North American swing.
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion who typically dominates on hard court, went just 1-3 in the tuneup tournaments leading up to the Slam.
"Last couple of weeks was not easy," Medvedev said. "But I'm happy that I managed to produce high-level tennis."
