On the 11th match day of the Australian Open, the men's singles lower half ended the last two quarter-finals.
As a result, No. 2 seed Alcaraz was knocked out of the final 1-3 by No. 6 seed Zverev, while No. 3 seed Dmitry Medvedev and No. 9 seed Hurkacz won 3-2 in five sets.
And in yesterday's two matches, Djokovic and Sinner defeated their respective opponents and entered the game early!
2024 Australian Open Men's Singles Semifinals Matchups:
- [1] Djokovic vs Sinner [4]
- 【3】梅德韦杰夫 vs 兹维列夫【6】
梅德韦杰夫 vs 兹维列夫
In the match that just ended, Zverev missed the service game after 5-2 in the third set and lost seven points in a row in the tie-break, but he still broke serve at the end of the fourth set to knock out the second seed Alcaraz 6-1, 6-3, 6-7(2), 6-4, which also shattered the dream of the top four to win the top four
Zverev reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the seventh time in his career.
Although the Germans led 4-3 in the head-to-head record, last year's US Open was also a quarter-final meeting, with Alcaraz sweeping 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.
However, in the United Cup, Zverev almost single-handedly brought the broken Germany to the championship, which is enough to prove the rise of "Little Ziwei".
In the next round, he will face Medvedev, the tournament's No. 3 seed.
In an earlier match, No.3 seed Dmitry Medvedev defeated No.9 seed Hurkacz 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-3, 5-7 6-4 in five sets to reach the quarter-finals of the Australian Open for the first time in two years and the eighth time in his career.
- Medvedev's Grand Slam results
- Australian Open 26-7
- 7-7 at the French Open
- Wimbledon 13-5
- US Open 29-6
After beating Hurkacz, Medvedev earned his 75th Grand Slam victory, becoming the fourth player born after 1990 to achieve this feat after Zverev, Dimitrov and Thiem.
Mei is the highest of the four with a 75% win rate.
Interestingly, after the game, Medvedev not only wrote "I want to sleep" on camera.
He also said in the interview: "I hope Djokovic and Sinner will play seven and a half hours in five sets and win 30-28 in the fifth set, let's see if they will be a little tired in Sunday's final." "It's really a joyful comedian.
In terms of head-to-head records, Djokovic leads 11-7, and in the last two games, Medvedev has had the last laugh.
In the Grand Slam, the two sides have met six times, with Medvedev leading 4-2.
Novak Djokovic vs Sinner
In yesterday's match, Novak Djokovic beat Fritz 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, while Sinner beat fifth seed Rublev in straight sets 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-3 to reach the last four of the Australian Open for the first time without dropping a set.
In the semifinals, Djokovic vs. Sinner was a bit interesting.
Although the two sides have met six times, they have met twice at Grand Slams, with Djokovic winning.
This time, I wonder how much trouble Sinner can bring to the king of the Australian Open?
In the semi-finals, Djokovic vs. Sinner was definitely a great match not to be missed.
Although Djokovic has a 4-2 lead, Sinner has led 2-1 in the last three meetings.
In the year-end finals and Davis Cup last year, Sinner defeated Djokovic twice in a row in 10 days, especially in the Davis Cup, Sinner also beat Djokovic in singles and doubles in 1 day, which is not crazy.
However, the Grand Slam is played in 5 sets, and Djokovic's understanding of 5 sets is deeper than everyone else's!
So, what is the men's singles final lineup you're looking forward to?
Mine is: Djokovic vs Medvedev!
