Stefanos Tsitsipas has done it to reach the Rotterdam semifinals.
Greece’s star secured a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory over Russia’s Karen Khachanov.
"He was playing great tennis and I wasn't sure if I would be able to compete," Tsitsipas said in his post match interview.
"We had great rallies and the quality of tennis was excellent."

He will now face fourth-seeded Russian Andrey Rublev in Saturday’s semifinals
