Medvedev advances in gruelling match, sets up potential clash with Alcaraz in Australian Open semifinals

Posted : 24 January 2024

Two-time Australian Open runner-up Daniil Medvedev fought through a challenging five-set match against Hubert Hurkacz, winning 7-6 (7/4), 2-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, setting up a potential semifinal clash against Carlos Alcaraz.

 

Medvedev, the former US Open champion, overcame physical exhaustion to secure the victory, enduring nearly four hours on the court. The Russian, ranked third globally, aims to reach the final after losing in the championship match in the previous two years.

 

In the women's category, Ukrainian qualifier Dayana Yastremska continued her impressive run by defeating unseeded Czech Linda Noskova 6-3, 6-4. Yastremska's victory makes her the second women's qualifier in the Open Era to reach the semifinals at the Australian Open. She will face either unseeded Russian Anna Kalinskaya or Chinese 12th seed Zheng Qinwen in the next round. Yastremska expressed pride in her Ukrainian heritage and wrote a message of support for Ukrainian fighters involved in the conflict with Russia on a TV camera lens.

 

Medvedev's potential semifinal opponent, Carlos Alcaraz, or sixth seed Alexander Zverev, will determine the Russian's path to the final. Medvedev, a two-time Grand Slam finalist, is determined to make a strong push for the championship after his previous losses in major finals.

 

Yastremska, on the other hand, embraces her historic achievement as the first women's qualifier to reach the last four at the Australian Open since 1978, expressing her mission to represent and support Ukraine on the international stage.
