Alexander Zverev will take on Karen Khachanov in the men’s tennis singles final at the Tokyo Olympics.

Zverev served one of the biggest upsets of the Games so far as he knocked out Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals.

The German defeated the Serb 1-6 6-3 6-1 to dash hopes of a Golden Slam – winning a gold medal alongside all four Slams in one season.

Meanwhile, the ROC’s Khachanov dispatched Spain’s Pablo Carreno in straight sets, 6-3 6-3, to book his spot in the final.

Whoever wins will be a new Olympic champion as Andy Murray won singles gold in 2012 and 2016.

Here’s all you need to know about the crucial match.
