Medvedev Sets Up Semi-Final Showdown Against Korda

Russian third-seed Daniil Medvedev has booked his spot in the semi-finals of the Australian Open, defeating Kazakhstan's Karen Khachanov 6-4, 7-5. The win sets up a thrilling encounter against American Sebastian Korda for a place in the final.

Medvedev was in top form as he outplayed Khachanov, breaking twice to take the opening set and then holding off his opponent's late surge to take the second set. Khachanov had looked like he might make a comeback when he opened up a 3-1 lead in the second set, but Medvedev refused to be denied.

'I'm happy that I really managed to raise my level, particularly in the end of both sets and really happy to be through to the semis,' said Medvedev, who is playing well right now and honestly that's all that matters.

In other news, Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka also progressed, outlasting Australian Alexei Popyrin 7-6 (7/4), 6-7 (8/10), 6-2 to continue his fine early season form. He had already upset world number 11 Holger Rune earlier in the tournament.

Medvedev's win sets up a mouth-watering semi-final clash against Korda, who defeated sixth seed Jannik Sinner 7-5, 6-1 earlier in the day. Sinner received treatment to his hip at the end of the first set and appeared hampered in the second set.
