Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev are the last men standing at the Australian Open, setting the thrilling title clash at Rold Laver Arena on Sunday.
Novak has won four of the previous seven matches against Daniil, and only one in the last four, with the Russian winning their previous encounter at the last year's ATP Finals in straight sets. Daniil scored five commanding victories in Melbourne and toppled Filip Krajinovic to advance into his second Major final, winning 20 consecutive matches and 12 against the rivals from the top-10!

On the other hand, Djokovic had to work much harder to reach the ninth Australian Open title match, overcoming an abdomen injury and playing well against Aslan Karatsev in the semis to extend his perfect record at Melbourne Park after reaching the last four. For Mats Wilander, it is a wide-open title match, with 51-49 in Novak's favor.
"I'm really looking forward to Djokovic against Medvedev. I think they are the world's best players at the moment, especially on the faster hard court like the one in Melbourne. We are not 100% sure how Djokovic is feeling physically, and Medvedev will not go down in that segment, not even after four or five hours.

For me, it's 51-49 in Djokovic's favor, but we will see an exciting battle and extended rallies. Medvedev is the upcoming star that can challenge Djokovic the most, but the Serb is yet to lose a final in Melbourne," Mats Wilander said.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.

- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
