“Whoever wins is going to be on huge fire. You know they are much younger than even me. I'm not old,” Medvedev said about facing 21-year-old Auger-Aliassime.
"But for them, it's going to be [their] first semis of a Slam. Experience is not everything, because when I was in my first semis of a Slam, I won it.
"Doesn't mean if you're there for the first time you're going to lose it. But I like that I have this experience. I know how it is. I'm not going to be tight. I know that."
The Monaco-based player is currently ranked by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) as world number two. but he has never won a grand slam tournament.
