As we move into the ATP and WTA tour quarter-finals, the big names split their preparation between the clay and hard courts. For the likes of Casper Ruud (24) and Alexander Zverev (26), this is an important period of time leading up to the US Open next month to close the gap on Carlos Alcaraz (20) and Novak Djokovic (36).

23:49 CET - Our Flash Moment of the day from the women's side was a strangely brilliant point played out between Anna Bondar (26) and Tamara Zidansek (25) in Lausanne.

It seemed for a moment like no one wanted to win the point - Zidansek did but she then lost the match by some margin.
