‘Novaksque comeback from the beast’ – Fans react as Daniil Medvedev reaches Australia Open 2024 final
Third-seeded Daniil Medvedev has reached the final of the ongoing Australia Open 2024 as he beat number six Alexander Zverev. In the game, he was behind in the first two sets 5-7, 3-6. However, in the next three sets, he won and made it to the summit clash 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5), 6-3. The final will be played on Sunday, January 28.
On the other hand, Jannik Sinner upset Novak Djokovic 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3 to make his maiden final of the Grand Slam. The former will play Medvedev in the final.
“It’s always nice to have this kind of player who you can learn from,” Sinner said in his on-court TV interview. “I lost last year in the semifinals in Wimbledon and I learned a lot from that. The confidence from the end of last year has for sure kept the belief that I can play the best players in the world.”
“He’s deservedly in the finals. He outplayed me completely,” Djokovic said. “Look, I was, in a way, shocked with my level — in a bad way. There was not much I was doing right in the first two sets.
“Yeah, I guess this is one of the worst Grand Slam matches I’ve ever played. At least that I remember.”

Daniil Medvedev!! A mentality monster, tactical genius, Velociraptor & an absolute fighter! Comes back from 2 sets down to beat Zverev 5-7 3-6 7-6 7-6 6-3. He’s that guy you’d want to take to a fight with. He might not be in form, but expect him to give it his all. That kind of… pic.twitter.com/co8AEePoa7
