The first round of the 2022 US Open has arrived with No.1 seed Daniil Medvedev set to take to the court against first-round underdog and home hero Stefan Kozlov.
The Russian star is the reigning champion of the US Open and will hope to claim his second ever Grand Slam win this summer in the absence of Novak Djokovic, who will miss his second Grand Slam of the year.
Medvedev vs Stefan Kozlov looks set to be one of the standout clashes of the opening round of the tournament. Here is everything you need to know about Daniil Medvedev's opponent.
Who is Stefan Kozlov?
The likes of Tommy Paul, Taylor Fritz and Jenson Brooksby will represent America's best chance of success at the 2022 US Open, but 24-year-old Stefan Kozlov is another home favourite who will be in action in round one.
Sitting at No.111 in the world rankings with a career-best of 103, the Macedonian-born Kozlov is far from a household name in the States, but this game will thrust the youngster into the limelight as he prepares to take on the World No.1
Kozlov has been eliminated in the opening round of each of his last ten tournaments, including a first-round Wimbledon defeat at the hands of Diego Schwartzman.
