Garbine Muguruza

A day after battling past Aryna Sabalenka in Doha, the former world No. 1 came out firing to dispatch Maria Sakkari, 6-3, 6-1. Muguruza did not face a break point, taking 30 of her 39 service points in the comprehensive 66-minute victory.

Petra Kvitova

Kvitova, who topped Muguruza to win the Qatar Total Open title back in 2018, is a win away from reaching her third final at the event. The lefty overcame Anett Kontaveit, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, to take a 5-2 lead in their head-to-head series.

Stefanos Tsitsipas

With six of the eight seeds out before the quarterfinals, the No. 2 seed managed to avoid the upset bug in Rotterdam. The recent Australian Open semifinalist fought off Hubert Hurkacz, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5, and will now take on Karen Khachanov for a place in the semifinals.

Pablo Andjuar

In Buenos Aires, Pablo Andjuar progressed to the last eight with his 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over Italy's Gianluca Mager. All four of Andujar's past ATP triumphs have occurred on outdoor clay, with his most recent coming at 2018 Marrakech.

Borna Coric

Eyeing his first title in nearly three years, the world No. 26 remained on track in Rotterdam thanks to his 6-3, 6-2 dismissal of Dusan Lajovic, who ousted world No. 3 Daniil Medvedev. Coric converted four of his break points against the Serbian, and gets Kei Nishikori Friday.
