–

The two final men’s quarterfinals, and the two women’s semifinals, are on tap Friday in the desert.

Of the eight players, only three had top-20 seeds: No. 2 Stefanos Tsitsipas and No. 3 Alexander Zverev on the men’s side.

And No. 12 Ons Jabeur (who will become the first Arab, man or woman, to make the top 10 next Monday) is the only one of the remaining four on the women’s side.
