Former world number 2 Alex Corretja thinks the men's final could be a classic, and says it could go the distance.
Speaking on Eurosport he said: "I think they are going to kill each other.
“I am expecting a very long match, both play a very similar game style.
“They both need their serves, their backhands are both unbelievable. Forehands – Novak moves his wrist a little bit more, but not too much more, than Daniil.
“I think they will play like a mirror to each other, unbelievable back-hand cross court, they change down the line, both great competitors.
"The only thing I see a little bit different is that Novak Djokovic has won 17 Grand Slam titles, with 8 of them in Melbourne. But if you just think about the shape of both of them, I think Medvedev has been showing that he is a guy coming to the tournament in a better shape and he kept that momentum going.
“He is going to be so, so difficult to beat and Novak will need to be at his best and will need to be very clear on his game plan and the way he wants to play because both are unbelievable defenders, they both like to attack but they usually don’t like to be in the attacking side all the time.”
