January 28 schedule
At 4:30 p.m., the highlight of the men's singles final of this year's Australian Open. The tournament's No. 3 seed Dmitry Medvedev and No. 4 seed Sinner will face each other. This is the third time that Russia's Dmitry Medvedev has reached the final of the Australian Open, and the Italian phenom Sinner has reached the final of the Australian Open for the first time. The two will battle it out for their first Australian Open title, and it is destined to be a Mars vs. Earth showdown.
Sinner
The pair have met nine times before, with Medvedev winning six in a row and Sinner returning a three-game winning streak in Beijing, Vienna and the finals at the end of last year. In this Australian Open, Sinner was in great form, sending 5 consecutive 3-0 strong advances to the semifinals, and played bravely in this final to not let the top seed Djokovic get a break point, defeating the Australian Open 10 champions 3-1, breaking the undefeated myth of the world No. 1 winning all 10 matches in the Australian Open semifinals. Medvedev has advanced to the final of a Grand Slam for the fifth time, winning one title and three runners-up in his first four appearances.
Medvedev
Medvedev has the advantage of having more experience in Grand Slam finals, and Sinner's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and has exploded strongly since the end of last season. Who will be the new owner of the Norman Brooks Challenger Cup?
Australian Open Championship Trophy
Whether Sinner won his first Grand Slam +00 and won the second Grand Slam or Medvedev won the second Grand Slam, Sunday afternoon will be known.
