Medvedev beats Tsitsipas in Australian Open semi
Daniil Medvedev made it to his second Grand Slam final by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-2, 7-5 at the Australian Open.
Medvedev will face eight-time champion Novak Djokovic at Melbourne Park for the title on Sunday.
Medvedev, a 25-year-old from Russia, was the runner-up at the 2019 US Open.
Djokovic, a 33-year-old from Serbia, will be appearing in his 28th major final and seeking an 18th Grand Slam title.
The fourth-seeded Medvedev played nearly perfect defensive tennis at the baseline in his lopsided semifinal against the fifth-seeded Tsitsipas and helped himself with 17 aces.
Tsitsipas looked drained after his epic, five-set, four-hour comeback victory over Rafael Nadal in the previous round. [AP]
