NOVAK Djokovic has booked the last place in the quarter-finals, beating Kevin Anderson 7-5 in the final set of their fourth-round match that was suspended on Monday night at two sets apiece.
The top seed had to save two break points early in the set, but then broke his South African opponent in the 11th game before serving out. Djokovic now plays Marin Cilic.
Jamie Murray and John Peers are through to the semi-finals of the doubles after beating Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares in through sets. The Scot and his Australian partner won 6-4, 7-6, 6-3.
Garbine Muguruza of Spain has become the first woman through to the semi-finals after beating Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky 7-5, 6-3. The No 20 seed meets the winner of the match between Agnieszka Radwanska and Madison Keys on Thursday for a place in the final.
Maria Sharapova is also through after beating Coco Vandeweghe in three sets. She now plays the winner of the match between Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
