Melbourne (AFP), Jan 28 – <\/i>Daniil Medvedev won a tempestuous Australian Open semi-final against Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday and will face Rafael Nadal, who is bidding to become the all-time men’s Grand Slam leader, in Sunday’s final.<\/p>\n

World number two Medvedev beat fourth-ranked Tsitsipas 7-6 (7\/5), 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 to reach his second straight Australian Open final. <\/p>\n

Earlier the 35-year-old Spanish great powered past the Italian seventh seed Matteo Berrettini 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. <\/p>\n

Nadal is level on 20 majors with his golden era rivals Novak Djokovic, who was deported on the eve of the tournament, and Roger Federer, who is absent with injury.<\/p>\n

It gives the Spaniard an opportunity to go clear at the top in Sunday’s final and add to his lone 2009 Melbourne Park crown in his sixth Australian Open final.<\/p>\n

Medvedev was in a fiery mood and given a code warning after raging at the chair umpire during his clash with fourth seed Tsitsipas, whose father Apostolos was also given a warning for coaching from the player’s box before inadvertently helping trigger his son’s collapse.<\/p>\n

Medvedev is shooting for back-to-back major titles after upsetting Djokovic in last year’s US Open final.<\/p>\n

Like in New York last September, when he stopped Djokovic from completing a calendar Grand Slam of titles, Medvedev will be trying to derail Nadal’s tilt at making men’s tennis history.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to play against one of the greatest and someone going for the 21st Slam,” Medvedev said.<\/p>\n

“I’m ready, I know that Rafa is a very strong player and I need to show my best to try and win this match.”<\/p>\n

But Nadal said the Australian Open title meant more to him than a record 21 career Grand Slams. <\/p>\n

“For me at the end it’s about more than all these statistics, it’s about being in the final of the Australian Open one more time. That means a lot to me,” Nadal said.<\/p>\n

“To me it’s more important to be in the final of the Australian Open and fight to win another Australian Open than the rest of the statistics for the history of the sport.<\/p>\n

– Umpire rage –<\/p>\n

“I just feel happy to be part of this amazing era of tennis, sharing all these things with another two players.<\/p>\n

“That’s it. In some ways it doesn’t matter if somebody achieve one more or one less.”<\/p>\n

It has been an extraordinary effort from Nadal at the year’s opening major, having to modify his game to compensate for a degenerative bone disease in his left foot that ended his 2021 season last August. <\/p>\n

He then caught Covid in December which, he said, made him “very sick”. <\/p>\n

Yet Nadal brushed aside Berrettini’s challenge with precision shot-making, while last year’s Wimbledon finalist could not overcome his sluggish start.<\/p>\n

Later in a stormy night semi-final under a closed roof because of rain, Medvedev had a massive blow-up with the chair umpire during a changeover at 5-4 in the second set.<\/p>\n

He was furious at the umpire over what he claimed was coaching from Tsitsipas’s coach and father Apostolos from the player’s box and the Russian received a code violation.<\/p>\n

Medvedev raged at the umpire and later said he regretted doing it.<\/p>\n

“His father can talk every point. Can you answer my question please?” he pleaded.<\/p>\n

“Oh my God, you are so bad man. How can you be so bad in the semi-final of a Grand Slam? Look at me! I’m talking to you!”<\/p>\n

Medvedev was contrite after. “I regret it all the time, because I don’t think it’s nice. I know that every referee is trying to do their best,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I can get really emotional. I have been working on it. Helps me to win matches, I know. In the heat of the moment, I just lost it.”<\/p>\n

Tsitsipas levelled up taking the chaotic second set as tensions bubbled over and Medvedev went ahead by taking the third set to gain the edge in a titanic duel shortly after Apostolos Tsitsipas was warned for coaching.<\/p>\n

Tsitsipas fell away after his father’s warning, losing five straight games as Medvedev surged to victory to take his place in the final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
