Next: Ferrer v Almagro in men's quarter-final

Hi JSAO .

Li Na won 7-5 6-3.

The first set was a strange, erratic affair, with one break after another. Radwanska served for the set, was broken to love again and Li Na held her nerve to take it.

Radwanska took a 2-0 lead in the second, but from that point Li Na activated Beast Mode™ and completely blew Radwanska off the court. Radwansksa made to look extremely lightweight. She could have been less passive at times too.

Li Na though.

Almagro currently 6-4 6-4 up against Ferrer.

Ferrer's game quite error-strewn so far, but full credit to Almagro for playing his best tennis, taking his chances and not dropping his level at all. His backhand is doing huge damage and his serve has been brilliant. This would be little bit giant shock considering Ferrer has a 12-0 career record over Almagro.

[Master Splinter]

Almagro served for the match, but Ferrer broke back.

Ferrer then broke Almagro at 6-5 to take the third set!

[Master Splinter]

Almagro breaks for 2-1 early in the fourth.

Amazing point in the next game featuring Ferrer getting 3 smashes back into play and then continuing on for another few brutal forehands, with Almagro eventually winning it!!

But then Ferrer breaks back.

2-2 in the fourth set.

[Master Splinter]

After swapping breaks, Almagro has another chance to serve the match out at 5-4.

He doesn't. Ferrer breaks back.

5-5.

Razor time for Almagro if he doesn't win this match.

JSAO .

Ferrer below his best, but still high quality tennis for the most part. Almagro's backhand has been amazing.
