Pugnacious Daniil Medvedev overpowers Stefanos Tsitsipas at Australian Open

Daniil Medvedev overcame a mid-match meltdown to defeat Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 6-4 6-1 and set up an Australian Open final clash with Rafael Nadal.

Medvedev's victory means he will play for a second successive grand slam title after his maiden success at the US Open last September.

It is also the second year in a row he has made the final at Melbourne Park, having lost to Novak Djokovic 12 months ago.

But much of the attention will focus on Medvedev’s extraordinary rant at the umpire late in the second set, when he accused Tsitsipas of receiving coaching from his father Apostolos.
