Nadal has experienced a four-set semi-final against Matteo Berrettini as he bid to win his first Australian Open championship since 2009.

World number two Medvedev meanwhile was a four-set winner against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the other semi-final.

The pair have only met once at a previous Grand Slam tournament, when Nadal won the right to the final of the US Open 2019 in five sets.

And Medvedev says he’s out for revenge.

He commented: “It’s definitely revenge for the US Open 2019. But at the same time, it’s a different place and it’s a new final.

“Every final is always new. If you think too much about the past it’s not good either. We know that he will be 21.

“I don’t want to say that my goal is to stop him from doing that. My goal is to win the game. In fact, with that, I don’t want him to play first on Sunday.

“I will do everything I can, I will give everything, physically, mentally, physically, the best form of tennis because that’s the only way I can beat him in a final.”
