MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Daniil Medvedev said he felt "destroyed" after another five-sets victory at the Australian Open on Wednesday but the third-seeded Russian was at a loss to explain why he felt so tired after some of his matches.
Former U.S. Open champion Medvedev, who finished runner-up at Melbourne Park in 2021 and 2022, ground out a 7-6(4) 2-6 6-3 5-7 6-4 victory over Hubert Hurkacz after nearly four hours in searing heat on Rod Laver Arena to reach the semi-finals.
