This could be the toughest match of the tournament to predict and that much is evident by the Australian Open odds. Both players have played a pair of physically demanding five-set matches and know each other’s game so well. Zverev has just one win in his last six matches against Medvedev, but plays him well on hard courts and could have the advantage in the Australian Open semifinals predictions, especially considering Medvedev’s comments about being “physically destroyed” after his quarter-final win.

Alexander Zverev vs Daniil Medvedev Betting Preview
Zverev in Second Career Australian Open Semis
While the Zverev results have been positive thus far, the Olympic gold medalist hasn’t exactly had an easy run to his second career Australian Open semifinals predictions. He played incredible against Alcaraz, regaining his composure after blowing a 5-3 lead in the third set to win in four sets. But he has also gone to the fifth set tiebreaker twice in the tournament against Lukas Klein and Cameron Norrie.
Against Alcaraz, Zverev had seven aces, won 74 percent of points on first serve, and was an impressive 7-of-10 in breakpoint opportunities. He is 7-11 in 18 career matches against Medvedev, last beating him at the 2023 Western & Southern Open. They played each other six times in 2023 and Zverev won just one of those matches.
Medvedev, the slight favorite in Australian Open computer picks, is 43-8 on outdoor hard courts dating back to last season. He’s 4-4 in eight career outdoor hard court matches against Zverev.
Medvedev Looking to Get into Third Aussie Open Final
It has been an absolute grind watching the Medvedev games, so having to battle on court for as long and hard as he has could certainly impact his performance in the Australian Open semifinals prediction. A two-time finalist at the Australian Open, Medvedev has had to play two five-set matches in Melbourne, most recently in the quarter-finals against Hubert Hurkacz. He won the match 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 and told John McEnroe after that he was “physically destroyed” and felt tired by the second set.
Medvedev overcame a 2-0 set deficit early in the tournament against Emil Ruusuvuori 3-6, 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-0. He also has wins over Felix Auger-Aliassime, Nuno Borges, and Terence Atmane. Medvedev might have less impressive Australian Open player stats than Zverev, but he is 11-7 in 18 career matches against the 26-year-old German. He won his last two matches against Zverev at the Nitto ATP Finals and China Open in 2023.
