The Greek is also Novak Djokovic's toughest possible rival on his path towards the final match, and he proved that while playing against Sebastian Baez.

Tsitsipas was simply superior, although he struggled a bit in the first set. He lost a break right at the start, only to win it back in the fourth game. Just when he seemed to be getting back on track, the Argentine won another break point.

However, Tsitsipas came back and turned it around to 7-5, while in the second set he practically crushed his rival.

Tsitsipas allowed his opponent to win only one game and will now play against Novak Djokovic.
