After making it to the final by defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (4), Djokovic told the media that “I expect the toughest match, whoever is across the net from me.
“[The semi-final is] going to be a nice match for me to watch, with my feet up, popcorn and some drinks!”
The second semi final was won by Medvedev, taking out defending champion Carlos Alcaraz.
“[It was] amazing, especially beating someone like Carlos,” Medvedev said after the match.
“Before the match for sure I had a lot of doubts after losing easily to him twice this year.
“I said I needed to play 11 out of 10 – I played 12 out of 10, except for the third set.”
The next Grand Slam will be the Australian Open in January. In the 2023 final, 1,322,000 tuned in to Nine to see Novak Djokovic win his 10th Australian Open men’s singles title, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas. The win saw Djokovic tie Rafael Nadal‘s record of 22 slam titles.
