The two semi-finals in the men's singles tournament headline the action on day 12 at the Australian Open.
And it is Stefanos Tsitsipas who is the first man through to the showpiece event after extending his unbeaten streak to six matches over Karen Khachanov thanks to a four-set win.
The 18th-seed was making his second grand slam semi-final appearance in a row after beating surprise packet Sebastian Korda although came up against the Greek star who proved to be just too good in the key moments, winning 7-6(2) 6-4 6-7(6) 6-3.
In the night session, the unseeded American, Tommy Paul, will be making his first appearance in a grand slam semi where he faces the daunting task of trying to stop nine-time champion Novak Djokovic.
The Serbian has seemed to put his troublesome hamstring issues behind him on his way to dominant victories over Alex de Minaur and Andrey Rublev in previous rounds.
However, his father, Srdjan, won't be in attendance after being filmed posing for photos with fans carrying the banned Russian flag.
The Sporting News shows you all the action to come on day 12 at Melbourne Park.
