This will be a tricky fixture for the Russian however, as he tends to struggle against Tsitsipas.

Karen Khachanov’s Performance At Australian Open in the Past
Although Karen Khachanov has had his fair share of success on the ATP Tour, it hasn’t been the case with the Australian Open. Heading into this tournament, Khachanov had never reached the second week of the Australian Open in his career. Bearing that in mind, it’ll be interesting to see if he’ll surpass his best record in this tournament.
Karen Khachanov Australian Open 2023 Prediction – Semi-final
In spite of his impressive run in this competition, we aren’t entirely sure of Khachanov’s chances against Stefanos Tsitsipas. He tends to fall short against the Greek, losing five of six skirmishes between them.
Should he win, Karen Khachanov would face either Tommy Paul or nine-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic in the final. All in all, we think the Russian’s campaign will end in this semi-final.
