Was that reigning US Open champion Daniil Medvedev looking suspiciously like … a defending Grand Slam champion out there in Cincinnati Friday?

He’ll be a big lion to tame as he takes on Stefanos Tsitsipas in a rivalry that has had its spicy moments in the past.
And it was Tsitsipas who earned his first career hard-court win against the Russian.
