Australian Open: Amazing Korda KOs Medvedev
With a great performance, Sebastian Korda won 3-0 sets against Daniil Medvedev and reached the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Inspired Sebastian Korda played the match of his life at the Rod Laver Arena, beating last year’s Australian Open finalist and this year’s No. 8, Daniil Medvedev, with an incredible straight-set win!
Although he initially seemed to collapse in the third set, the 22-year-old American managed to keep his composure and scored the most important win of his career after three hours of fighting.
The world No. 31 tennis player prevailed 7-6(7) 6-3 7-6(4) to advance to the top 16 in Melbourne, where he was joined by No. 10 on the board, Hubert , will meet Hurkatz.
Huge performance from Korda, resounding exclusion for Medvedev, who will be outside the top 10 in the world rankings after the end of the Australian Open!
The American produced 50 winners, “painted” all the lines and despite the honorable efforts of the 27-year-old Russian, he couldn’t lose with tennis at such a high level that he played.
Despite breaking just one more than his opponent (five to four), Korda was the best player on the court and pushed Medvedev to the limit with his highly aggressive tennis.
When he slipped the qualification in the 3rd set, Medvedev came back from a break (4:2) and headed to 4:5, the American showed his nerves of steel and was able to break out of the lead in a very difficult opportunity, thanks to a flawless tie-break.
When you see the tie-break played by the winner in the 3rd set, it’s easy to understand why the Russian reached this point…
Medvedev’s exclusion from the continuation of the tournament opens the top of the table even further, with Stefanos Tsitsipas now the big favorite to reach the end!
Worth mentioning is the fact that Korda has qualified for the Australian Open “16” for the first time in his career, while in the past he has played in the 4th round of a major tournament twice more (Roland Garros 2020, Wimbledon 2021 ).
Only at the Grand Slam in his hometown (US Open) has he not yet made it into the second week of the game

According to media reports, Serena Williams is considering a sensational return to professional tennis after a four-year break.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion retired in 2022, avoiding the word “retirement” and saying only that he was “moving away” from the sport.
Her last match took place at the 2022 US Open, where she lost to Ajla Tomljanovic. Williams’ re-entry into the anti-doping pool last December fueled rumors of a comeback. Although Serena later denied her return, The Telegraph’s sources claim that the tennis community is not buying it and believes Serena can still compete at WTA level.
