Somewhere else in Berlin, world number one Aryana Sabalenka defeated Swiss Rebka Masarova 6-2 7-6 (8-6) in a match in two days.

Belarusi took the first set on Wednesday before the bad light was suspended.

Sabalenka, beaten by Goff in the French Open final, returned on Thursday and returned from a break down to win a direct win.

Former Wimbledon Champion defeated Czech Katerina Siniakova 6-4 7-6 (7-5) to face Sabalenka in the quarter-finals from Kazakh Elena Rybikina.

Market Wondrasova, who won the Wimbledon title in 2023, defeated Russian Diana Schneider 6-3 6-7 (3-7) 6-3.

Somewhere else in the Halle Open, the Russian Andre Rubalav was another big name to fall, which failed to convert two match points in 3-6 7-6 (7-6) 7-6 (8-6) to Argentina Tomas Martin Achery.

But German World No. three Alexander Zaverev recovered Italian Lorenzo Songo to defeat 3-6 6-4 7-6 (7-2).
