Tsitsipas beats Khachanov to reach first AO final

Reuters :
Stefanos Tsitsipas blazed his way into a first Australian Open (AO) final with a 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-3 win over Russian 18th seed Karen Khachanov on Friday, as the third-seeded Greek inched closer to becoming world number one.
Tsitsipas, who had crashed three times at the semi-final stage at Melbourne Park, will take on favourite Novak Djokovic or Tommy Paul for the title.
Winning his first Grand Slam crown on Sunday would see Tsitsipas take the number one spot from Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, who is absent from the tournament due to injury.
“I’d like that number,” Tsitsipas said. “These are the moments that I have been working hard for, to be able to play in finals like this, but finals that have a bigger meaning than just the final. So it’s a cornerstone final.
