The world number 12 registered a 6-4, 6-2 win against Khachanov to book a place in the semi-finals. "I'd be lying if I said there weren't good memories coming out on this court. That's something I attribute to some of my performances here from time to time. I come back here, and I look back on those memories of the past. I refresh it.When I'm able to play in front of such a crowd and strive for excellence in my game it gives me good feelings,'' Tsitsipas said, as quoted by ATP, after some strong early shots from Khachanov. After taking over, Tsitsipas remained. Having defeated Atal and his opponent, who was just five places lower in the ATP rankings, in 83 minutes, Tsitsipas enters the Principality for 2024 with a modest 11-6 record, but I think he will be returning to the same spot. Where he had won. -Consecutive titles in 2021 and 2022 have energized them. The 25-year-old Greek will now try to make his third appearance in the championship match in Monte-Carlo when he faces either Holger Rune or Jannik Sinner in the last four.

At 2–2 in the second set, Khachanov called in the physiotherapist. His leg had to be treated but he was able to walk freely by the conclusion of the match. But after giving Tsitsipas a break for 3-2 with an easy overhead miss, he was clearly in trouble and could not create a break point on his next serve in the second set."My returns were effective. I was generating a lot of momentum and took the lead." There was good speed at some points. He looked good and balanced in his tennis. H wasn't making too many unforced errors and I looked quite calm from behind the baseline, which was just as much pressure to put on. “I couldn't rush the rallies,” Tsitsipas said."I was trying to predict and read some things on the court and it worked pretty well. I once again took my time to understand what works and what does and today I was able to do something good. K continued in his efforts." h added.
