–

Quarterfinals time, with some attrition in Tokyo meaning just three seeds survived.

But the two later matchups are fire: Rune v the resurgent Nishikori, and a young-guns clash between Shelton and Fils.

In both cases the winners (Rune and Fils) saved match points before going on to victory.

In Beijing they were still in the second round: Diamond Court was Italy on Sunday, while Lotus was Russia although Andrey Rublev barely got his match started before the rain kicked in.
