Stefanos Tsitsipas secured his 350th career tour-level win on Wednesday, February 26, at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, defeating Karen Khachanov 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals.
The Greek No. 11 seed, who has reached the Dubai finals in 2019 and 2020, improved his head-to-head record against Khachanov to 9-1. Tsitsipas had previously beaten Lorenzo Sonego in the first round.
The 26-year-old, who is chasing his first title since Monte-Carlo in April 2023, displayed aggressive play in the third set, winning 80% of his first-serve points and clinching victory after 2 hours and 29 minutes.
Tsitsipas’ win adds to a career that includes 11 tour-level titles, including the Nitto ATP Finals in 2019. He is the 13th active player to reach 350 wins, joining the ranks of Novak Djokovic, Richard Gasquet and Marin Cilic.
Next, Tsitsipas will face Matteo Berrettini, who defeated Australian Christopher O’Connell 7-6(2), 6-2 in his second quarterfinal appearance of the season.
