Australian Open: World number two Medvedev beats Tsitsipas to set up final meeting with Nadal

Russian second seed Medvedev edged a high-quality battle with Greek fourth seed Tsitsipas, winning 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 6-4 6-1 in Friday’s second men’s semi-final.

Medvedev, 25, is aiming for his second successive Grand Slam title after winning the maiden Grand Slam of his career at the US Open back in September.

He is also looking to go one step further in Melbourne after losing in last year’s final to Djokovic, who did not play this year after being deported from Australia in a visa row related to him being unvaccinated.

The Russian will face Rafael Nadal for the title on Sunday.
