MELBOURNE: Stefanos Tsitsipas will be hoping it is third time lucky in an Australian Open semifinal following his scintillating performance against Jannik Sinner in the last eight on Wednesday.
A semifinalist in Melbourne in 2019 and 2021, the Greek defeated Italian Sinner 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 at Rod Laver Arena in just over two hours.
Stretched to five sets by Taylor Fritz on Monday, the fourth seed showed no signs of fatigue in a match that started in blazing sunshine but finished under the roof after a storm hit.
The 23-year-old will play the winner of the quarterfinal between Russian Daniil Medvedev and Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime later on Wednesday.
