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.
