In the men’s event, Daniil Medvedev’s title defence came to an end after he fell to a 6-1 6-4 defeat by American 14th seed Tommy Paul.<\/p>\n

The Russian’s exit means world number five Alexander Zverev, who beat Portugal’s Nuno Borges 6-2 7-5 on Thursday, is the highest-ranked player left in the draw.<\/p>\n

World number two Jannik Sinner and third-ranked Carlos Alcaraz withdrew because of injury before the event, while top seed Novak Djokovic was knocked out by Alejandro Tabilo in the second round.<\/p>\n

Tabilo followed up his surprise win<\/a> over the Serb by upsetting Russian 16th seed Karen Khachanov.<\/p>\n

The Chilean, ranked 32nd in the world, won 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (12-10) to reach his first ATP Masters 1,000 quarter-final.<\/p>\n

He will play China’s Zhang Zhizhen, who defeated Brazilian qualifier Thiago Monteiro 7-6 (7-4) 6-3.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Greek sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas needed just 61 minutes to thrash Australia’s Alex de Minaur 6-1 6-2.<\/p>\n

Tsitsipas, a finalist in Rome in 2022, has lost just two of his 15 matches on clay this season.<\/p>\n

The Monte Carlo champion and Barcelona Open finalist will face Chile’s Nicolas Jarry, who beat Frenchman Alexandre Muller 7-5 6-3.<\/p>\n

American Taylor Fritz overcame Bulgarian eighth seed Grigor Dimitrov 6-2 6-7 (11-13) 6-1 after letting a match point slip during a 20-minute second-set tie-break.<\/p>\n

Fritz, the 11th seed, will now take on Zverev, while Paul’s victory over Medvedev means he will face Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in the last eight.<\/p>\n

Hurkacz fought back from a set down to beat Sebastian Baez of Argentina 5-7 7-6 (7-4) 6-4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
