Australian Open 2025, day five AS IT HAPPENED: Third top 10 men's player gone from Australian Open as next generation makes statement; Learner Tien defeats Daniil Medvedev in five-set epic

It's good morning from me.

But it's over and out.

Daniil Medvedev means that's three men's top 10 players gone from the Australian Open.

Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud and Medvedev. They're all gone.

The next generation has well and truly arrived.

We'll catch you in a few hours for more coverage.

I'm calling it.

That's match of the tournament.

Learner Tien has beaten Daniil Medvedev!

"An absolute epic here in Melbourne, the best win of his career," Rob Koeing said on Nine.

Four hours and 48 minutes of tennis, that is phenomenal!

There's been some great lines from the great man in this tiebreaker.

Here's my two favourites:

"A brutal gladiator combat disguised as a tennis match."

"Training is the cake and belief is the icing. Sometimes that thin smear of frosting can make all the difference."

He's got the break!

Learner Tien has that dawg.

He produced two clinical winners to finish there.

"In your life have you ever seen a game like that given the circumstances of the teenage?," Rob Koeing said on Nine.

AND HE STARTS THE TIEBREAKER WITH ANOTHER WINNER.

Well Learner Tien didn't come back from the break the better player.

He only earned one point from his serve and Daniil Medvedev has a crucial break.

He'll serve for the match now.

The ball girls and boys have finished up with the towels, drying out the course.

And guess who gave them a clap when the job was done?

Learner Tien.

The elements are out in force now.

Both players are on their benches because the rain is coming in heavy.

Talk about timing.

The roof is being closed now.

It's 5-5 and 15-15 in the game.

No problem for Medvedev.

Two massive points there from him during tight rallies.

"How good were those last two points?," Rob Koeing said.

And he had a bit of a stare with both those points too.

5-5.

Tien takes the game and he's up 5-4.

Big chance here for the American!

But it's Medvedev on serve.
