Daniil Medvedev beats Rafael Nadal 3-6 7-6 6-3 in the second semi-final. Nadal served for the match in the second set.

 

I hope tomorrow's final will be as close as today's two matches.

Tough one to call, I think it will go to a deciding set.

You were right. Medvedev won the final 4-6 7-6 6-4. There was little to choose between them but Thiem made more unforced errors.

just realised Medvedev beat the top 3 (Djokovik, Nadal and Thiem)

and all were pretty though games so congrats to him, that's no easy task

think he even had match point against him when he played Nadal

 

as usual I was very disappointed with Medvedev and Tsisipas, when their head is not there, they cannot play

and Rublev showed his nerves too much, but guess it's understandable as it was his 1st time

Schwarzmann was pretty bad he really had a "grace" period that lasted 3 weeks this year

but now he's back to his old self, good but not great and far from the top 10 players

Roger Federer will miss the Australian Open for the first time in his career as he continues his recovery from knee surgery.

He hoped to return at the delayed Australian Open, which starts on 8 February in Melbourne.
