the likes of the current world number one Novak Djokovic go up against Hubert
Hurkacz in the quarterfinal of the competition.
In the other last-eight clash, the world number four Russia’s
Danill Medvedev going up against Denmark’s Holger Rune, number three-ranked
Jannik Sinner to go up against Russia’s Andrey Rublev and two-time Grand Slam
winner Carlos Alcaraz going up against Germany’s Alexandar Zverev.
The winner of the Djokovic-Hurkacz clash will face the
