Thursday delivered entertaining quarter-final matches, starting with the clash between pre-tournament favourite American Alex Michelsen and fourth seed Chilean Alejandro Tabilo. It was a closely contested encounter, with Tabilo eventually coming out on top, winning 7-5, 7-6 to secure his place in tomorrow’s semi-final.

On centre court, Argentine Thiago Tirante faced Kazakhstan’s Aleksandr Shevchenko, who had caused a major upset in the round of 16 by knocking out last year’s champion, Casper Ruud. Tirante and Shevchenko treated the crowd to some incredible rallies and a real serving spectacle, with numerous aces throughout three intense sets. Tirante eventually prevailed 7-6, 6-7, 6-3 and will now face Tabilo in Friday’s semi-final.
