Medvedev in 5, finally, advances to 4th round in Australia
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Daniil Medvedev finally worked out how to a win a five-setter. All by himself. The fourth-seeded Medvedev was 0-6 in career five-setters and he was getting animated as his match against No. 28-seeded Filip Krajinovic looked like it was going all the way in the third round of the Australian Open. His coach left the stadium during the fourth set. Medvedev recovered and won. Medvedev’s ATP Cup-winning teammate Andrey Rublev and fifth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas also advanced. Jessica Pegula continued her best career showing at a major by beating Kristina Mladenovic and setting up a shot at No. 5-seeded Elina Svitolina.
