View Schedule: Federer, Thiem In Masters 1000 Rematch Friday
Roger Federer and Dominic Thiem will face off in an ATP Masters 1000 rematch on Friday in the Mutua Madrid Open quarter-finals. Thiem prevailed against Federer in the BNP Paribas Open final in March to claim his first Masters 1000 title. Federer went on to win the Miami Open presented by Itau two weeks later.
Also in quarter-final action, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will continue his bid for a record-tying 33rd Masters 1000 title when he faces ninth seed Marin Cilic. Stan Wawrinka, the 2013 Madrid finalist, awaits the winner between five-time champion Rafael Nadal and American Frances Tiafoe.
