Accustomed to controversy,

Daniil Medvedev

unleashed the anger of the Australian Open public when it occurred to him to mention

Novak Djokovic

after the spectacular comeback against Canadian

Felix Auger-Aliassime

(6-7(4), 3-6, 7- 6(2), 7-5 and 6-4). The number two in the world raised two sets against and one match point and will face the Greek

Stefanos Tsitsipas

in the semifinals , who crushed the Italian

Jannik Sinner

(6-3, 6-4, 6-2).

After the epic four hour and 42 minute battle, Jim Courier asked him for the key to surviving against the odds.

Then came the mention of the number one, who was deported from Australia just before the tournament began.

"I don't know if people will like the answer, but I wondered what Djokovic would do and how he would deal with that situation,"

he assured to unleash boos from the public.

After the adverse reaction, he mentioned the other two tennis greats.

"How would any of the great champions like Novak, Nadal or Federer," he continued before confessing that the grueling battle had left him exhausted.

"I don't have any more clothes left in my racket bag,"

he added before the audience at Rod Laver Arena.

The Muscovite could not stop the aggressive tennis of the Canadian, who based his game on powerful forehands and tight services, in the first two sets that fell on the side of Auger-Aliassime.

The one from Montreal, who lost in the recent ATP Cup against Medvedev by a resounding 6-0 and 6-4, was unable to close a clash in which he offered all his potential in the first two sets and in which he finished with 18 aces and 64 winning shots.

However, the 21-year-old wasted a match point to the rest, when the score looked 5-4 in the fourth set, and ended up paying for it after Medvedev shielded an insurmountable defense that despaired his rival.

In the semifinals, Medvedev will face Tsitsipas, in a repeat of the semifinal match they played on the same stage last year.

The Russian, who has 6-2 in his favor in the duels between the two, took the victory in three sets.

The Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas, in the semifinals of the Australian Open.

This time, Tsitsipas faces the duel with less wear and tear, after winning his duel against

Sinner

in just 2 hours and 6 minutes.

The Greek is only one game away from his second final in a Grand Slam, after

Roland Garros

in 2021, which he lost in five sets against Djokovic.

"My humility has helped me a lot today. I knew I was going out on the court to face a very good player," he said.

"I focused on my best shots and it turned out better than I thought," she added.

Not even an interruption of the match due to a summer storm has distracted Tsitsipas, who has not conceded a single break point opportunity to

the

Italian and has broken his serve on the four

break

points he has arranged.
