The Greek now has his eyes set on a third title in the Principality., and will not have to face world No.1 Novak Djokovic to win it after the Serbian giant was upset by Casper Ruud in the other semi-final, the Norwegian claiming his first win against the world No.1 6-4 1-6 6-4.

“It was tennis at its highest level that I have been able to play,” Tsitsipas, who lifted back-to-back Monte-Carlo Masters titles in 2021 and 2022, said of his victory over Australian Open champion Sinner, who has been in sparkling form all year.

“Jannik was an extremely-difficult opponent and it can be seen throughout the year so far.

“He has been very consistent and I could see that throughout today with his game.

“He is one of the toughest opponents I have faced so far and to find ways when there weren’t that many, I am proud of that.”
