Jannik Sinner vs Daniil Medvedev Live Score Australian Open 2024 Final: Sinner calls, opts to serve first against Medvedev.

No. 4 seed Jannik Sinner makes his way into the iconic Rod Laver Arena amid a rapturous welcome. The cheer gets a bit louder as Daniil Medvedev follows. He is playing his third final in Melbourne.

Four-time Grand Slam winner Jim Courier brings the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup into the Rod Laver Arena.

Hseih Su-wei of Taiwan became the second-oldest woman to win a Grand Slam doubles title after partnering Elise Mertens of Belgium to win the Australian Open women’s doubles. The second-seeded pair beat 11th seeded Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia and Lyudmyla Kichenok of Ukraine 6-1 7-5. It was Hseih’s seventh Grand Slam women’s doubles title and Mertens’ fourth, their second together.

Medvedev has converted 33 break points at the Australian Open 2024, the most by any player in the men’s draw. Meanwhile, Sinner dominates under pressure, as he leads the chart for most break points saved in the tour in the last 12 months. Through the course of this very tournament, he has been broken just twice in 88 games

Medvedev will be aiming to become the first Russian male player after Marat Safin in 2005 to win an Australian Open title. He would also become the sixth active men’s player to win multiple majors, joining Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka.

At 22, Sinner will become the youngest winner of the Australian Open men’s singles title since a 20-year-old Djokovic had lifted the trophy in 2008. He will also become the first Italian player in history to win the Australian Open and the second man in the Open Era to claim a Slam after Adriano Panatta had won the 1976 French Open.

He has a 1-4 win-loss record in major finals, his only win coming against Djokovic in 2021 US Open. He previously lost to the Serb two more times – 2021 Australian Open and 2023 US Open. He also lost two other matches to Rafael Nadal – 2019 US Open and 2022 Australian Open.

“He did a little more serve-and-volley, maybe a little more aggressive, but at the same time that’s what he’s doing against everyone. He’s just playing better. The three matches, all of them were tough. Two tie-breaks and two three-setters. I had my chances. All of them were in the end of the season where I felt like I was not at my 100 per cent, even if I was playing pretty good. I was maybe at 97, 96 per cent, and against him you need to be at 100.”

Medvedev leads 6-3 against Sinner where all their nine encounters happened in hard courts. However, the Italian won all their last three meetings, which included back-to-back finals in Beijing and Vienna, before a semifinal win at the Tour Finals.

This will, however, be their very first Grand Slam meeting.
