Djokovic Extends Dominance Over Medvedev
Top seed Novak Djokovic extended his dominance over third seed Daniil Medvedev, defeating the Russian for the ninth time in his career and reaching a 131st ATP final.
Dominating the contest on Saturday, the world no. 5 saved all three of the break points that he faced while converting two of the three that he held to win the one-hour-and-24-minute contest 6-3, 6-4.
Djokovic has now won 33 matches in a row in Australia and will be eager to keep the streak going on Sunday.
The Serb, who won five titles from seven finals last year, is chasing a 92nd career title in Adelaide.
Djokovic has not dropped a set in the tournament. The 21-time Grand Slam champion ousted France’s Constant Lestienne 6-3, 6-2 in the first round before edging past another Frenchman Quentin Halys 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-5) in the second round. That was the toughest match for Djokovic so far, as he had to overcome a 2-5 deficit in the first set against Halys.
In the quarterfinals, Djokovic dispatched Denis Shapovalov 6-3, 6-4. The Serbian has been broken just twice in the tournament.
He is great touch at the moment and will be featuring in a fifth consecutive final. He had ended 2022, by reaching four consecutive finals, winning the Tel Aviv Open, Astana open and the ATP Finals titles, while finishing runner-up at the Paris Masters.

Korda Progresses as Nishioka Retires
Last year, Sebastian Korda reached back-to-back finals in Gijon and Antwerp before finishing the season with a first round defeat at the Paris Masters.
The World no. 33 has now reached a final in the very first tournament of 2023. Korda advanced to the summit clash after his semifinal opponent Yoshihito Nishioka retired in the second set.
The American edged out Nishioka in the first set tiebreak and broke the Japanese in the first game of the second set when Nishioka received a medical timeout before retiring with a leg injury.
This will be the fifth time on the tour that Korda will be playing in a final. The 22-year-old has won just one of the previous four finals, winning the title in Emilia-Romagna in 2021.
Like his opponent on Sunday, Korda, too, is yet to drop a set this year. He began his Adelaide campaign with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 win over Andy Murray and then defeated Roberto Bautista Agut 6-4, 6-4 in the second round, knocking out sixth seed Jannik Sinner 7-5, 6-1 in the quarterfinal.
He has struck as many as 38 aces in the tournament so far and has been broken just twice in the tournament.
Can he pull off an upset on Sunday and win a second career title?
Djokovic v Korda Prediction and Tip
Djokovic is the superior player in this contest. He is also in exceptional form at the moment and is on an extraordinary 33-match winning streak in Australia. Expect him to win the final without much fuss.
