  5. Down 4-3 in the last set, Sabalenka showed why she is the number one player in the world. She took her game to a higher level, won the last three games -- including two breaks -- and closed out the match: 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. She advances to the semifinals.

  6. American Taylor Fritz -- the Number 5 seed in the men's draw -- advances to the semi-finals with a 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 win over Karen Kacharnov of Russia. Fritz will probably face Number 2 seed -- and two-time defending champion -- Carlos Alcaraz of Spain. Alcaraz's quarter-final match with Cameron Norrie is just about to begin.
