 Daniel Medvedev vs. Alexander Zverev is the second semi-final for the men's Australian Open for 2024. And both of them had to fight to get to this stage. Zverev entered the tournament as the number six seed and will take on Kopfer in the first round. And after dropping the first set would fight back to win 4-6-6-3-7-6-6-3. In the second round he'd take on the qualified Klein. Zverev would fight back to win 7-5-3-6-4-6-7-6-7-6. In the third round he'd take on the youngster Mickelson who had just taken out Lehechka in the previous round. There's no problem for Zverev getting through in straights. 6-2-7-6-6-2. In the fourth round he'd take on Norrie the 19th seed. And again Zverev would be forced to play 5-7-5-3-6-6-3-4-6-7-6 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Zverev would take on the number two seed Elkaraz who had just beaten at the ATB finals in November of last year. And after demolishing the first two sets Zverev would have to fight to win 6-1-6-3-6-7-6-4 to advance to the semi-finals. Medvedev entered the tournament as the number three seed and would take on the qualifier at main in the first round. And after dropping the first set Medvedev would fight back to win 5-7-6-2-6-4-1-love retirement. In the second round he'd take on Roussevore. And after dropping the first two sets Medvedev would fight back to win 3-6-6-7-6-4-7-6-6-love. In the third round he'd take on the 27th seed Ojele Asim, a man that he'd played an epic five-setter against two years ago. But this is not the same match with Medvedev getting through in straights 6-3-6-4-6-3. In the fourth round he'd take on Borges, the unseeded player who would come through players like Dimitrov and Fakina along the way. And after dropping the third set Medvedev would wrap it up in 4-6-3-7-6-5-7-6-1 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Medvedev would take on the number nine seed Hubey Hercatch and this was a battle with Medvedev taking the first and Hercatch taking the second, pushing it all the way to a fifth 7-6-2-6-6-3-5-7-6-4 with Medvedev advancing to the semi-finals. These guys have played 18 times before with Medvedev having won 11 of those times but he has also won most of them in the recent times as well including five out of six from last year. It was very fun getting one win that was in Cincinnati when the conditions were really windy. Because Vera is going to win this one and he's a kind of play like he did in the first two sets against Elkras. He was so so aggressive and he just smothered Elkras with winners and aces and he served amazing too that's going to be a big part of it as well. Also coming to the net using that variety drop shots we all know Medvedev doesn't really like those things against other guys like Elkras for example so Vera is going to have to do that too. If Medvedev is going to win this one he's going to have to probably win the first set. His energy levels were a little bit weird in the hercatch match and he did look a little bit off towards the end. Now we don't know whether he's playing in the day or the night so it might depend on what day or night he's playing and that might determine whether or not he has to keep those energies up but it's going to be really tough for Medvedev physically if he can't get the first set or two. This is the first time we're seeing these guys play in a slam and that is insane considering they played 18 times never in a slam are going to go with Medvedev though and four. I think Medvedev gets the job done. Sasha has also played a lot of tennis just like Medvedev. I've got to go with Medvedev in four. He's got the more experience and he makes the final but let me know down in the comments below who have you got in the final.
