Jannik Sinner staged a brilliant fightback from two sets down to defeat Daniil Medvedev and win his first grand slam title at the Australian Open.
The 2024 Australian Open is currently underway in Melbourne, Australia.
Daniil Medvedev recovered from two sets down for the second time this fortnight to beat bitter rival Alexander Zverev and reach his third Australian Open final.
Daniil Medvedev battled into a third Australian Open final Friday with a come-from-behind five-set defeat of Alexander Zverev to set up a title match against Jannik Sinner. The never-say-die Russian third seed was in a precarious position on Rod Laver Arena but fought back to win 5-7, 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 after four hours 18 minutes. Ice-cool Italian Sinner will be awaiting him in Sunday's title match after stunning defending champion Novak Djokovic in the other semi-final.
MELBOURNE: Novak Djokovic vowed his shock defeat to Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open semi-finals on Friday does not mean it is the "beginning of the end".
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. Playing his 100th Grand Slam match, he is into an eighth major semi-final, but has only gone to win only one title -- at the 2021 US Open.
