Stefanos Tsitsipas defeats Karen Khachanov in straight sets to reach the semi-finals of the Monte Carlo Masters.
MONTE CARLO, April 12 — Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas kept alive his hopes of a third Monte Carlos Masters title as today he breezed into the semi-finals dismissing Russian opponent Karen Khachanov 6-4, 6-2.
The 25-year-old Greek will meet the winner of the quarter-final between Holger Rune and Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner.“I was very effective from the start, I had a lot of pace and gained momentum,” said Tsitsipas.Khachanov had cheekily said to the umpire prior to the match “Are you going to stay focussed?” to which the official replied “Always, of course.
Khachanov finally won a service game of his own — to make it 3-2 — displaying a fine mix of power hitting, delicate touch and agility. Khachanov, who seemed to be troubled by a pain in an upper quad, came under pressure on his serve at 1-1 in the second set — but he saved a break point and then held.
