The Russian star Tennis player is now all set to battle Karen Khachanov for a place in the semifinals.
Stakes will be high when Spanish Carlos Alcaraz will meet Norwegian Casper Rudd at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in the US Open final on Monday.
According to 'Xinhua', World No. 7 Ruud, who has a much higher ranking than Moutet, notched up the 6-1, 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-2 win to set up a meeting with 13th seed Matteo Berrettini of Italy, who scraped past Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain 3-6, 7-6(2), 6-3, 4-6, 6-2.
"At the US Open, this is the furthest I've ever gone, so it's a special year for me already, hopefully I can keep it going," Kyrgios said.
The Russian won the first grand slam title of his career last year when he defeated Novak Djokovic at Flushing Meadows, and started his defence in dominant fashion on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday, reports DPA.
The World No. 1 faced a tough test against the Dutch. He made a fast start behind an instant break but had to survive the second set to secure a 6-4, 7-5 victory and advance to the third round in Cincinnati.
During the process, the World No 1 also earned his 250th match win as he returned to his favoured hard courts for the first time since his run to the Miami quarterfinals in March.
It was not the first time the 34-year-old Spaniard has troubled Medvedev. In fact, Bautista Agut won their three previous meetings outside of Halle with the loss of just one set.
The World No. 1 fended off a set point when trailing 3-5 before clinching the opening set in a tie-break against World No 51 Otte. A solitary break in the second set was enough to secure a 7-6(3), 6-3 semifinal victory in the pair's first ATP head-to-head meeting.
