Sebastian Korda pulls off another American upset at the Australian Open, defeating two-time tournament runner-up Daniil Medvedev in three sets.
Sebastian Korda beat two-time runner-up Daniil Medvedev 7-6 , 6-3, 7-6 in the Australian Open’s third round Friday night, the latest in a string of victories by young American men against top players at Melbourne Park.
This result comes on the heels of two other attention-grabbing victories by players from the U.S., whose men last won a Grand Slam title 20 years ago. On Wednesday, Mackenzie McDonald beat No. 1 seed Nadal. On Thursday, Jenson Brooksby beat No. 2 seed Casper Ruud. And now it was Korda’s turn to add his name to the list.
Korda, the 2018 junior champion in Australia, grabbed the lead in each set, breaking Medvedev in his first service game every time.
