Stefanos Tsitsipas reached his third consecutive Western & Southern Open semi-final on Friday, outlasting John Isner 7-6(5), 5-7, 6-3 to set a popcorn clash against World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev.
In a rain-disrupted clash, the Greek weathered a storm on court as he blunted the American’s big-hitting game with heavy topspin, while he clinically took his one chance in the third set to advance after two hours and 22 minutes in Cincinnati.
With his 45th tour-level win of the season, the 24-year-old has improved his ATP Head2Head series record against Isner to 5-2. He will look to reach his first final at the hard-court event when he faces Medvedev on Saturday in what will be a difficult test, with the top seed leading the Greek 7-2 in their ATP Head2Head series.
