Stefanos Tsitsipas overcame Karen Kachanov in the semi-finals of the 2023 Australian Open. The Greek professional has now made it to his second Grand Slam final where he could once again face Novak Djokovic. Tsitsipas will be hoping that this final will be different from last time given that Novak Djokovic overcomes Tommy Paul.

In his on-court interview, Tsitsipas said, “I thought of how hard I worked to get to this position. It takes a little bit more. I wasn’t able to deliver that in the third set. I was extremely close to getting it, If you dedicate yourself even more if you concentrate on these important moments even more, it pays off quite well. Always having that ambiance in the background somewhere feels so good when I’m able to hit the ball and get such a reward back from the fans.

Tsitsipas certainly has the crowd on his side and the Greek professional would be looking to use that as his advantage in the final of the 2023 Australian Open. Only time can tell whether Tsitsipas will win his maiden Grand Slam title or not.
