How to watch Medvedev vs Sinner: live stream Australian Open 2024 men's final online, Italian wins fourth set

Daniil Medvedev looked to be cruising to a second Grand Slam title and first in Melbourne when he won the opening two sets. But Jannik Sinner has now fired back and levelled the match at two sets all. Can the Italian complete an epic comeback? Or will Medvedev win a second Grand Slam crown?

You can watch Medvedev vs Sinner in the US, UK, and for FREE in Australia on 9Now. But don't worry if you're abroad while it's on because you can watch Medvedev vs Sinner live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

For a while there during his epic semi-final with Alexander Zvererv, Medvedev must surely have thought that 2024 was going to be yet another near miss for him Down Under. Two sets behind and heading into a tie-break with the German in the ascendancy, the stubborn Russian outlasted his opponent to come through the grudge match victoriously.

Medvedev has reached two finals here before and he's really had to scrap his way to a hat-trick, being taken all the way by Hubert Hurkacz and Emil Ruusuvuori earlier in the tournament.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about Sinner's fabulous 3-1 win over Novak Djokovic in his semi-final was that it wasn't necessarily that surprising. The Italian defeated the GOAT twice as recently as November and hadn't lost a single set at Melbourne Park heading into the encounter. He made such a fast start, taking a two-set advantage in double quick time, that not even the great Djokovic could overturn it.

The world number 4 now has the opportunity to become the youngest Australian Open winner since — you guessed it — Novak Djokovic. There's no denying he has the talent and form to go on and lift the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup on Sunday, but will the 22-year-old's nerve match the occasion?

The first Australian Open final without Djokovic, Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal since 2005, is this finally the passing of the baton to a new generation? Find out as we explain your best options for getting a Daniil Medvedev vs Jannik Sinner live stream, including how to watch Australian Open 2024 online from anywhere in the world.
