Daniil Medvedev 'Destroyed' By Australian Open Five-Setter

Two-time runner-up Daniil Medvedev said he was "destroyed" physically after grinding past big-serving Hubert Hurkacz in five tough sets Wednesday, but would be fighting fit for his Australian Open semi-final. The Russian world number three eventually tamed the Polish ninth seed 7-6 (7/4), 2-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 in draining heat on Rod Laver Arena after a contest lasting nearly four hours.
