He will now face Grigor Dimitrov for a place in the final after the Bulgarian beat Hubert Hurkacz 6-1 4-6 6-4.
Seventh seed Tsitsipas is yet to drop a set this week in disposing of Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime, Germany's Alexander Zverev and now Khachanov.
He had far too much variety for Khachanov in the opening set, using his all-court game and accurate serving to great effect.
He then moved a break ahead in the second set before Khachanov hit a brief purple patch to get back on terms.
