Match Predict – Handicap (+2) for Khachanov
We suggest believing in Khachanov, who is indeed displaying his best tennis at this Australian Open. The Russian is more confident than ever and could well reach the final of a Grand Slam tournament. Karen has only lost two serves in his last two matches. If he maintains the same resilience in his games, he could well beat Stef.

The Australian Open semi-final between Khachanov and Tsitsipas is unlikely to end quickly. The last head-to-head encounter between the two men was a high-scoring one. This encounter is expected to be tightly fought as well.
Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Karen Khachanov vs Stefanos Tsitsipas
Karen Khachanov:
Khachanov reached the semi-finals at his second consecutive Grand Slam tournament. In September last year, he managed to break into the top four at the US Open.
No doubt, Karen continues to surprise. There’s no point talking about any kind of luck here. He had no weak opponents.
In the quarter-finals, Khachanov faced Sebastian Korda (7-6, 6-3, 3-0), who beat Daniil Medvedev and Hubert Hurkacz before that.
Karen took the first two sets. In the third, with the score 3-0 in his favour, Sebastian withdrew. After the match, Korda announced that he had injured his wrist. However, it was clear even before that that he would be unlikely to find a weak point in Karen’s game.
In his previous five matches, Khachanov had lost only two sets.
On his way to the semi-finals, he also defeated Bernabe Zapata Miralles (7-6, 6-2, 6-0), Jason Kubler (6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2), Frances Tiafoe (6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-7) and Yoshihito Nishioka (6-0, 6-0, 7-6).
Khachanov has lost his last 17 matches in a row when his opponent was a top-10 tennis player.
Azerbaijan has called for Karen Khachanov to be punished for writing 'Artsakh Stay Strong' at the Australian Open.

Stefanos Tsitsipas:
Tsitsipas, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open for the third successive year. On previous occasions, Stef lost to Daniil Medvedev.
In the quarter-finals, Stef defeated Jiri Lehecka (6-3, 7-6, 6-4). In the third set, 3-3, he hit a three-break point. It was the key moment of the match.
The most difficult match for Tsitsipas so far was against Jannik Sinner, in which he led 2-0 in sets, but ultimately only overpowered Jannik in the fifth set.
Remarkably, Stef scored 22 break points here. In the decisive set, however, his opponent did not have a single break point.
On his way to the semi-finals, he also defeated Quentin Halys (6-3, 6-4, 7-6), Rinky Hijikata (6-3, 6-0, 6-2) and Tallon Griekspoor (6-2, 7-6, 6-3).
Tsitsipas has won his last 12 consecutive hard-court matches.
