THE QUARTER-FINAL LINE-UPS

- By MIKE DICKSON

Tomorrow: ANDY MURRAY (1) v KEI NISHIKORI (8)

GIVEN how Murray is playing, and Nishikori’s frailty, expect the world No 1 to prevail on a surface that suits him better.

Tomorrow: STAN WAWRINKA (3) v MARIN CILIC (7)

CILIC has recovered from a poor start to the year, but Wawrinka is a three-time Slam winner and can hit through the rangy Croat.

Today: PABLO CARRENO-BUSTA (20) v RAFAEL NADAL (4)

GIVEN the fear factor of Nadal on clay, and the awe around him, it is hard to see the No 20 seed stopping his march to a 10th title.

Today: DOMINIC THIEM (6) v NOVAK DJOKOVIC (2)

PICK of the quarters. The Austrian looks a champion in waiting. If there is any flakiness about Djokovic, he will take advantage.

Today: JELENA OSTAPENKO v CAROLINE WOZNIACKI (11)

THE Latvian teenager will not be overawed by the ex-world No 1. But the Dane was excellent in knocking out Kuznetsova.

Today: KRISTINA MLADENOVIC (13) v TIMEA BACSINSZKY (30)

UNLIKE so many French players, Mladenovic feeds off the fervour of a home crowd. The Swiss reached the semis here in 2015.

Tomorrow: ELINA SVITOLINA (5) v SIMONA HALEP (3)

ROMANIA’S Halep has come good since that Fed Cup tie against GB. But Svitolina is in prime form. Winner will be favourite for the title.

Tomorrow: KAROLINA PLISKOVA (2) v CAROLINE GARCIA (28)

THE tall Czech has had a fine nine months but isn’t at her best on clay. Garcia will be empowered after win over French rival Alize Cornet.
