Spent the entire day at the courts. It had to be done, the rain got in the way, so I am happy the day ends like this. I put a great effort out there today. Tonight actually, not today! It has been wonderful, delightful in fact, to be playing this way and I need to catch some Zs now, get ready. I think tomorrow's a day off, so [I have] got to recharge and focus on the next one," said Tsitsipas after the match.Tsitsipas will be facing the current Cincinnati champion Borna Coric, who ended the dream run of Hungary's Fabian Marozsan 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 to reach his second straight ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal.Notably, Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic continued his quest for a seventh title in Rome as he reached the quarterfinals of the ongoing Italian Open after a win over Cameron Norrie on Tuesday.He won the match by 6-3, 6-4.

He reached the QFs in Rome for the 17th straight year."So far so good," Djokovic said about his tournament so far as quoted by ATP."It was an early start today. Strange conditions and we warmed up for just 20 minutes. I was rushing a little bit and we could not play before because of the rain, so I am glad to overcome the challenge in straight sets and move on," added Djokovic.Djokovic is attempting to win his seventh title in Rome, having previously won the event in 2008, 2011, 2014-15, 2020, and 2022.

"We had some long games, and I should have played better on this game at 4-3... I should have done better from 40/0. I made a few easy errors, but that's tennis and I knew that I had to continue. It was not an easy moment, [later I had a] set point to save. I am happy with my level throughout the whole match, except this game and I'm really looking forward to the next match," said Medvedev.Despite Zverev recovered a break to force a second-set tie-break, Medvedev produced a high-quality tie-break to seal a one-hour, 56-minute triumph, his third against the German this season. In Rome, the 27-year-old will face qualifier Yannick Hanfmann, who previously defeated Monte-Carlo winner Andrey Rublev 6-2, 7-6(3) in his round of 16 match.Despite Zverev reclaiming a break to force a second-set tie-break, Medvedev produced a high-class tie-break to seal a one-hour, 56-minute victory, his third of the season against the German.
