Who’s up next?
Djokovic will hope to have recovered from neck and arm problems ahead of his clash with Tsitsipas, while Schwartzman can take confidence from a victory over Nadal in Rome last month.
Swiatek, meanwhile, will look to reach her second final when she and Nicole Melichar face Alexa Guarachi and Desirae Krawczyk in the women’s doubles.
