Medvedev vs Zverev live stream: How to watch Australian Open semi-final online now – final set!

Daniil Medvedev is out to reach a third Australian Open final in four years today as he faces Alexander Zverev on Rod Laver Arena, and it's over to a fifth and final set after Medvedev came back from 2-0 down. The winner will play Jannik Sinner in the showpiece on Sunday. Read on for all the TV viewing info and how to watch Medvedev vs Zverev from anywhere with a VPN.

After coming through a bruising near four hour encounter against ninth seed Hubert Hurkacz, and claiming his 75th Grand Slam match win in the process, Daniil Medvedev is now just one win away from his third Australian Open final appearance. 

Having lost to Rafa Nadal in the 2021 finals and to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 final, the Russian will be desperate to find a way past 26-year-old Alexander Zverev, who produced a scintillating display to knock out second seed Carlos Alcaraz. 

The odds are stacked firmly in Medvedev's favor: the German has played Medvedev on 18 occasions, losing 11 times. In fact, last year alone the pair played six times with the Russian triumphing in five of those matches. 

But is a shock on the cards? Follow our guide as we explain how you can watch a Medvedev vs Zverev live stream and watch Australian Open 2024 games from wherever you are today.
