Second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas eased into the semi-finals of the Barcelona Open after a straight-sets win over Alex de Minaur on Friday.
Tsitsipas claimed the lone break of the opening set and then reeled off five straight games in the second as he won 6-4, 6-2 – making it nine wins from nine matches against Australia's De Minaur.
The Greek world No 5 will play Lorenzo Musetti of Italy on Saturday as he bids to reach the Barcelona final for a third time, after losing to Rafael Nadal in both 2018 and 2021.
Tsitsipas remains on course to take on top seeded Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the final, with the defending champion taking on countryman Alejandro Davidovich Fokina later on Friday.
