Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas achieved yet another milestone after an impressive outing in the Paris Masters.
The 25-year-old defeated Karen Khachanov in the quarterfinal of the competition in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
With that win, Tsitsipas became the first player who was born in 1998 or later to win 300 matches at the highest level of tennis.
The current world number six will be hoping that his recent form will continue so that he can go all the way and finish the year on a high after a disappointing few months.
Tsitsipas is now set to face off Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in the semifinal of the competition on Saturday.
It will be the eighth time when both players will face off on the tennis court. In the previous seven meetings, Tsitsipas had a clear edge as he emerged victorious on six occasions and suffered just a solitary defeat.
The previous meeting between the two took place in the United Cup Australia earlier this year where the Athens-born came out on top with a score of 4-6, 6-2, 7-6.
Dimitrov’s only win against his Saturday opponent came way back in 2020 in Vienna where he secured the triumph with a score of 6-7, 6-4, 6-3.
