Daniil Medvedev to win @ 7/10 (1.70)

While Zverev has been sensational in his outings at Melbourne Park, Medvedev has struggled to impose himself. However, as the two face off at Rod Laver Arena, it is difficult to look past Megamind. While Zverev is 1-5 in the slam semi-finals, Medvedev has reached the Australian Open final twice. Moreover, the Russian ace has a 11-7 record against Zverev and will surely look to improve this statistic in their first-ever slam meeting.

The duo enter this meeting after playing nine sets each in their last two matches alone. They have exhibited their dogged ability thus far and it will be on show again in this semi-final bout. Based on this, we are backing an extended battle, one that sees over 42.5 games to find the victor at Rod Laver Arena.
