Stat of the Day: Nick Kyrgios has now won 25 of his last 30 matches

Nick Kyrgios defeated J.J. Wolf in the third round of the US Open on Friday night, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3, ripping 36 winners—including 21 aces—and fighting off all seven break points he faced to move through to the second week in Flushing Meadows for the first time in his career.

The Australian has now won 25 of his last 30 matches, a stretch that dates back to the start of the grass court season—he’s actually won more matches than anyone on the men’s tour in that time.
