Australian Open 2023 results: Stefanos Tsitsipas beats Karen Khachanov to reach final

Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas has another chance to land his first Grand Slam title after reaching the Australian Open final by beating Russian Karen Khachanov in the Melbourne last four.

Third seed Tsitsipas, 24, won 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 against Khachanov, who was going for a maiden major final.

Tsitsipas lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2021 French Open final and might have the chance to avenge that loss.

Tsitsipas, who will become the world number one if he wins the title, eventually booked his place after recovering from Khachanov saving two match points in the third-set tie-break.
