GAME, SET AND MATCH! - NISHIKORI 4-6 2-6 6-4 2-6 GASQUET. France's last man standing is through in straight sets! The ninth seed ousts the fifth in two hours and 34 minutes. He serves it out in style and fittingly it is the backhand down the line that concludes it to love. It's a thoroughly deserved win and he will now meet Murray in the last eight.

BREAK! - NISHIKORI 4-6 2-6 6-4 1-4 GASQUET. Nishikori has a shocker and it's within touching distance for Gasquet.

BREAK! - NISHIKORI 4-6 2-6 6-4 0-1 GASQUET. What a response from the man Brad Gilbert affectionately calls Dicky! The backhand does the damage again to force a first BP.

SET! - NISHIKORI 4-6 2-6 6-4 GASQUET. Kei is back in it! The Japanese hits back as we approach the two-hour mark. A lovely forehand winner down the line tees up two set points and he secures a crucial break on the second with a controlled backhand pass that Gasquet can only prod into the net. Gasquet still leads 2-1 but the momentum could well have shifted now. Don't rule out this going to a decider.
