The first week of the Australian Open was dominated by headlines of Andy Murray's resurgence, but another rejuvenated star has quietly made his way to the last four. When Karen Khachanov won the 2018 Paris Masters, his first ATP Tour 1000 title, the 6ft 6in Russian was expected to become a top 10 fixture, but he's slowly slipped down the rankings.
Since taking silver at the delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021, however, the 26-year-old has re-found both his form and his spot in the top 20. This is Khachanov's second successive Grand Slam semi-final after he reached the last four at the US Open last autumn and, though his game lacks potent weapons, his consistency from the back of the court and strong first serve have helped him dispose of promising Americans Frances Tiafoe and Seb Korda, receiving a walkover against the latter while two sets up.
Stefanos Tsitsipas has long been tipped as one of tennis next generation of talents to take the sport into a post-Federer-Nadal-Djokovic world but the Greek is yet to fully unlock his potential. Notoriously spiky, especially towards his own parents when they're in attendance, the 24-year-old reached a first Grand Slam final at the French Open last year, letting a two-set lead slip against the inevitable Novak Djokovic.
This is Tsitsipas' fourth Australian Open semi-final in the past five years, his all-court game and smooth single-handed backhand perfectly suited to Melbourne Park and he's dropped only two sets in five matches to this point.
The two players have faced each other on five previous occasions, with Tsitsipas winning every match, the most recent encounter ending in a three-set victory at last May's Rome Masters on clay.
