THE QUARTER-FINAL LINE-UPS
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.
