SEMIFINALS

Fiona Ferro d. Sorana Cirstea, 6-3

David Goffin d. Stefanos Tsitsipas, 7-6 (6), after saving a match point in the tiebreaker.

"He won, a few times, the tournament in real life. So in video games, I hope it will be different."—Goffin, on his possible final-round opponent, Andy Murray.

Kiki Bertens d. Caroline Wozniacki, 7-5

"I played a few times with Fiona. It's going to be really tough. I want to win it again"—Bertens, the 2019 Mutua Madrid Open champion

Andy Murray d. Diego Schwartzman by default (connection issues)

Andy Murray, [10-6], but the two will play off-stream to determine finalist

With the game being a "disaster", the two restarted twice:

Before the first one:

Murray told Schwartzman, "I'm going to serve up the T on this one." Murray proceeded to serve out wide. He later successfully hit an underarm serve for an ace, giving a shoutout to Nick Kyrgios.

Before the second one:

Schwartzman: "This is a Isner and Karlovic game!"

The connection issues persisted, and after Schwartzman won a Supertiebreaker 10-6, he said to Murray:

"We need to talk with the organization to fix this. You deserve to be in the final. We need to split the prize money we share to the foundations. And then you play the final. I think it's going to be better for TV for everyone. If you are in Europe, the transmission is better."

The two had planned to try and play offline, but decided to make Murray the finalist.

FINALS

Kiki Bertens d. Fiona Ferro, 6-1

Bertens, who won the 2019 Mutua Madrid Open in real life, won the 2020 edition in virtual reality.

Andy Murray d. David Goffin, 7-6

"I think he's a little better than me at the game. He knows how to use the drop shot, the inside out forehand, so he has a few more options. My serve was probably the biggest difference."—Murray

"The heart rate gets up there a little bit, especially at the end. It's difficult, cause at least when you're nervous in an actual tennis match, you feel a little bit more in control. Whereas when you're playing with technology, you feel like you're not in control."—Murray*

"Ooooh, what a match. I have to be very offensive."—Paire, on hearing he'll play David Goffin in the quarterfinals.

Sorana Cirstea d. Victoria Azarenka, 3-1

"Jesus Christ!"—Azarenka

Caroline Wozniacki d. Madison Keys, 3-0

Tsitsipas following his second successive 3-0 victory:

"I feel a bit like Rafa on clay right now."

Tiafoe on the variety Nishikori displayed:

"Dude, this is unbelievable. I'm getting toyed with right now."

Wozniacki shares details of practice sessions with Murray:

"He won the first game we played. Then the second game we played, he got some time violations and got disqualified, so I'll take that as a win for me. The third one we played, I won that one. So really 1-1. But today, I think he practiced all night. This morning, he said let's warm up and he completely destroyed me. He played very well today."

Q: He said to us, that he can't play because he's a father and really busy. Is he a liar, he was playing a lot in the night?

Wozniacki: "I don't know. Something happened from yesterday when I played him and today when I played him. He was a different Andy Murray."
