Stefanos Tsitsipas clinched his first win over Rafael Nadal to book his place in the Madrid Open final.
Tsitsipas, whose 27 match wins this year is more than any other player on the ATP Tour, showed no nerves to defeat the five-time champion 6-4 2-6 6-3 in stunning fashion.
Nadal saved three match points in the final game against Tsitsipas but was denied his chance of reaching the tournament’s final for a ninth time.
Tsitsipas twice lost his serve in the opening set, but broke Nadal three times on his way to edging it after 58 minutes.
Nadal responded by taking his first two service games in the second set without dropping a point and he broke Tsitsipas in the sixth and eighth games to seal it in 36 minutes.
The deciding set went with serve until Tsitsipas broke Nadal in the fifth game. The Greek star held and then won on the Spaniard’s serve again in the seventh.
Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, secured his first final appearance since winning the Australian Open at the start of the year by beating Dominic Thiem 7-6 (2) 7-6 (4).
The Serbian rode an early storm in each set to overcome the Austrian and reach his third Madrid Open final.
The world No 1 overcame fifth seed Thiem in a physical baseline battle in two hours and 22 minutes.
