Medvedev wins epic

Daniil Medvedev’s bid for a second grand slam title is alive after he saved a match point and became the first player to win a match from two sets down at this year’s Australian Open in Melbourne. The world No2 appeared to be heading for a shock exit to young Canadian ace Felix Auger-Aliassime but US Open champion Medvedev rallied to win a classic quarterfinal 6-7 (4-7) 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 7-5 6-4. The Russian star saved his match point in the fourth set to push the match into a decider, eventually overcoming the ninth seed in 4hr 42min. Medvedev will face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semis at the Open for the second-straight year after the Greek star demolished young Italian sensation Jannik Sinner 6-3 6-4 6-2. Spanish legend Rafael Nadal is up in the other semifinal against Italian seventh seed Matteo Berrettini today.
