Daniil Medvedev dominates Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets to advance to Australian Open final
Fourth seed Daniil Medvedev will face eight-time winner Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open men’s final after safely advancing from the last four.
Medvedev dominated the fifth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second semi-final, winning 6-4, 6-2, 7-5 in two hours and nine minutes on Rod Laver Arena.
He is the third Russian to reach the men’s final at Melbourne Park and the first since Marat Safin lifted the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup in 2005.
Sunday night’s clash with Djokovic will also be his second appearance in the final of a major. He lost the 2019 US Open decider to Rafael Nadal in five sets.
Djokovic is seeking to win his third straight Australian Open.
More to come.
