Him Karen Katsanoff faces Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semi-finals of the Australian Open (05:30, Eurosport & LIVE from sport-fm.gr), in his last hurdle before the grand final of the first Grand Slam of the year!
The Greek champion will compete against the Russian in high spirits after a clean 3-0 set win against Lekhetska. We remind, the No. 4 of the world rankings will have the opportunity to climb to the top of it if he reaches the trophy.
On the other hand, Katsanov is at No. 20 of the world rankings, taking an easy place in the semi-final, after the withdrawal of Sebastian Korda.
“Steph” is clearly superior to his opponent in the early morning (Greece time) on the central court of Melbourne and in case he finds himself on a good day, it is certain that he will manage to reach, easy or difficult, the final. There, he will face (in case of always qualifying), either him Novak Djokovic, either him Cameron Norrie.
Tsitsipas has dropped just two sets so far in the tournament against Yannick Siner and needs victory to play in his first Australian Open final, something he has failed to do, although he has already reached the semi-finals three times!
We remind you how so far it has already “captured” revenue 587,000 euros and if he reaches the final and loses, he will collect 1.03 million euros, while if he wins the first Grand Slam of his career, he will win 1.887 million euros!
