Tomas Berdych is through to the Miami Open quarter-finals after edging Richard Gasquet 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in two hours and 28 minutes on a humid Tuesday at Crandon Park.

The seventh-seeded Czech will face either World No. 1 Novak Djokovic or 14th seed Dominic Thiem for a place in the semi-finals at the second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament of the year.

The 30-year-old Berdych claimed his 30th win in Miami as he advanced to the quarter-finals for the seventh time in 12 appearances. He went on to reach the final in 2010, finishing runner-up to Andy Roddick.

Berdych levelled his FedEx ATP Head2Head with Gasquet at 7-7 after edging the Frenchman in trying conditions. The right-hander rallied from a breakdown in the first set, reeling off four straight games from 2-4 down to clinch the opener.

Gasquet was able to hold on to his early break lead in the second set as he levelled the match, but it was Berdych who came good at the crunch stage, breaking Gasquet in the 11th game of the decider before serving out to love.

World No. 15 David Goffin is through to his second straight ATP World Tour Masters 1000 quarter-final after beating Horacio Zeballos 7-5, 6-3. The Belgian lost just eight points on serve and converted three of his nine break point opportunities as he defeated the lucky loser in 86 minutes.

Goffin is coming off his first Masters 1000 semi-final showing in Indian Wells, where he defeated Stan Wawrinka and Marin Cilic before falling to Milos Raonic. The 25 year old is the first Belgian man in tournament history to reach the quarter-finals in Miami.

Next up for Goffin will be Gilles Simon, who swept aside fellow Frenchman Lucas Pouille 6-0, 6-1 in just 58 minutes, relinquishing only 11 points on serve. 

Fourth-round action on Tuesday is led by World No.1 and five-time Miami Open champion Novak Djokovic, No. 6 Kei Nishikori, No. 7 Tomas Berdych and No. 10 Richard Gasquet, who is one of a tournament record four Frenchmen through to the Round of 16. In the bottom half of the draw, a first-time Miami finalist is guaranteed.

In the opening match on Stadium, No. 10 Gasquet brings a 7-6 FedEx Head2Head record against No. 7 Berdych. The Frenchman holds a 16-15 edge in sets won. This is their 10th meeting on hard courts and Gasquet leads 5-4, having won the most recent meeting in the fourth round at last year’s US Open.

In their previous Miami meeting, in the quarter-finals three years ago, Gasquet won 6-3, 6-3. He is trying to reach his second quarter-final in Miami (semi-finals in ’13) while Berdych is attempting to advance to his fourth straight quarter-final and six in the past seven years. He is also eyeing his 30th career win in Miami.

In the third match on, Djokovic and No. 14 Dominic Thiem – co-leaders for the most ATP World Tour match wins this season (24) – meet for the second time. Djokovic won the previous meeting 6-3, 6-4 in the second round at ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai in October 2014. Djokovic has won 26 of his past 27 matches in Miami since 2011 and owns a 24-1 record on the season.

Thiem, who is the youngest player (22) in the Top 20 of the Emirates ATP Rankings at No. 14, is trying to reach the quarter-finals for the second year in a row. He is also looking to post his first career Top 10 win on hard courts (0-8).

In the final day session match, No. 16 Gael Monfils and No. 26 Grigor Dimitrov square off for the fifth time (Monfils leads 3-1, 2-0 on hard courts). The winner will advance to the Miami quarter-finals for the first time. Monfils is appearing in the fourth round for the fourth time while Dimitrov, who beat No. 2 seed Andy Murray on Monday, is making his first appearance in the fourth round since 2012.

In the evening session, No. 6 Nishikori looks to increase his unbeaten record (3-0) against No. 17 Roberto Bautista Agut, who is making his first appearance in the fourth round. Their three previous meetings came on clay in Spain. Nishikori, who reached the semi-finals in 2014, is playing in the fourth round for the fifth consecutive year. He is the highest-ranked player left in the bottom half of the draw.

On Grandstand, Argentine lucky loser Horacio Zeballos, plays No. 15 David Goffin for the fourth time (Goffin leads 2-1). Zeballos won the only previous hard court meeting in the first round of the Miami Open two years ago.

In the next match on, an all-French meeting takes place with No. 18 Gilles Simon and unseeded Lucas Pouille, who is coming off his first career Top 10 win over No. 8 David Ferrer. Simon won the previous meeting in the first round at Roland Garros last year.

Next up is a first-time meeting between Next Generation star, No. 24 seed Nick Kyrgios, and Russian Andrey Kuznetsov, who will break into the Top 50 of the Emirates ATP Rankings next week. In the final match on, No. 12 Milos Raonic and Bosnian Damir Dzumhur meet for the first time. Raonic, who is off to a career-best 16-2 start, is trying to reach the quarter-finals in Miami for the second time (2014).

Milos Raonic made it seven in a row against American Jack Sock on Monday and is now one win away from matching his best showing at the Miami Open presented by Itau.

With his trademark big serve and controlled groundstrokes, Raonic dispatched the No. 22 seed, 7-6(3), 6-4 during the night session at Crandon Park. The Canadian hit 12 aces and won 81 per cent of his first-serve points. Raonic also hit 21 winners to 24 unforced errors. Sock, meanwhile, almost doubled his winners count – 17 – with unforced errors – 31.

Raonic didn’t start the match the calmer player, though. Sock elected to receive and seven points later, including two double faults from Raonic, the American had a rarity against Raonic, a break point. But the No. 12 seed served his way to an early hold, and the young ATP World Tour stars traded holds for the remainder of the set.

The tie-break was decidedly one-sided, though. Raonic sprinted to a 5-0 lead. Sock clawed within three points, but a missed backhand drop shot gave Raonic a one-set lead.

The tie-break seemed to temporarily wound Sock’s spirits as well. After holding serve six times in the first set, the 22-year-old was broken during his first service game of the second. At 3-4 in the second set, Sock had four chances to break back but he failed to convert any of them.

Raonic, who last made the Miami quarter-finals in 2014, will face Bosnian Damir Dzumhur with a quarter-finals trip on the line. Dzumhur beat Mikhail Kukushkin on Monday 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert just keep winning at ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments in March. The Frenchmen won the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells earlier this month. On Monday, they moved a step closer to winning the Miami Open, beating Pakistani Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-2, 6-3.

The No. 5 seeds broke their opponents three times and never faced a break point en route to the straight-set win. Mahut and Herbert’s quarter-finals match will be an all-French affair. They’ll face compatriots Jeremy Chardy and Fabrice Martin.

The No. 4 seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan advanced to the quarter-finals by default. Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut, who was playing with Serbian Viktor Troicki, withdrew because of dehydration. Bautista Agut’s singles match Monday afternoon lasted two hours and 28 minutes in humid conditions.

The Bryans will face the remaining wild card doubles team, Australians Omar Jasika and John-Patrick Smith. The Aussies beat Spaniard David Marrero and Frenchman Benoit Paire 6-3, 6-4 on Monday.

South African Raven Klaasen and American Rajeev Ram also won on Monday. They eliminated the Croatian team of Marin Cilic and Marin Draganja 7-6(10), 6-0.
