MELBOURNE (Reuters) - World number two Daniil Medvedev reaffirmed his Australian Open title credentials with a crushing win https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/clinical-medvedev-cruises-into-australian-open-fourth-round-2022-01-22 over Botic van de Zandschulp in the third round, but the Russian will face a very different test against Maxime Cressy on Monday.

Medvedev will start as favourite against the unseeded American but the U.S. Open champion must find a way to combat Cressy's brand of serve-and-volley tennis, which proved highly effective against Christopher O'Connell in the previous round.
