ATP Brisbane 2026: Medvedev survives on the wire and already steps into the semifinals

Carlos Navarro - 9 Jan 2026
Daniil Medvedev Survives a Tough Match in Brisbane.

A very tough test that Daniil Medvedev had to face in his quarterfinal match at the 2026 ATP Brisbane. The Russian, the number one seed, went up against a streaking Kamil Majchrzak, matching his ball speed. The Polish player had a significant advantage, up a set and with a 1-1, 0-40 opportunity to pull away... but that's when the best version of the Russian emerged, in a burst of anger, saving all three break points and never looked back. The result (6-7(4), 6-3, 6-2) shows the final superiority of a Daniil who is already stepping into his first semifinals of the year, proving he's back with renewed energy.

Other results of the day (quarterfinal matches):

  • Aleksandar Kovacevic d. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-3
  • Brandon Nakashima d. Raphael Collignon (Q) 6-3, 6-3
  • Alex Michelsen d. Sebastian Korda 6-3, 7-6(7)
