We’ve reached the quarter-final stage at tournaments in London, Berlin, Halle and Nottingham as several of the world’s best players look to continue their grass-court momentum.

21:52 CET - That is all from the Tennis Tracker today. Tune in tomorrow for some superb semi-final action on the grass!

21:37 CET - In the final match of the day, 37-year-old Roberto Bautista Agut has caused a massive upset at Queen's, claiming a brilliant 7-6(5), 6-7(4), 6-2 win over fourth seed Holger Rune. The veteran rolled back the years and now faces countryman Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals.

20:29 CET - Rebecca Sramkova is a semi-finalist in Nottingham after the Slovakian claimed a hard-fought 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win over Linda Noskova. It is her first last-four appearance of 2025.

20:19 CET - Liudmila Samsonova was in utterly irresistible form in Berlin, as she crushed the in-form Amanda Anisimova 6-1, 6-1 in just under an hour to reach the semi-finals in emphatic fashion.

18:58 CET - Two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz didn't have too many issues against lucky loser Arthur Rinderknech, seeing off his French opponent 7-5, 6-4 to seal a spot in the Queen's last four. Typically ruthless from the Spaniard.

18:52 CET - Aryna Sabalenka has just won an absolute epic against Elena Rybakina in Berlin, battling from 6-2 down in the final set tiebreak to somehow get over the line, winning 7-6(6), 3-6, 7-6(6) in two hours and 45 minutes.

Rybakina will be crestfallen that she wasn't able to take her four match points, while world number one Sabalenka moves into the semi-finals. 

18:20 CET - Draper is now the last British player standing at Queen's or Nottingham after Katie Boulter's 12-match winning run at Nottingham has come to an end. 

The British number two put up a good fight and played some high quality tennis at times but was just edged by the impressive McCartney Kessler who won a three-set thriller 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.

Boulter's exit brings an end to a dominant run at Nottingham which saw her win the previous two titles before reaching the last eight this week.

17:15 CET - Jack Draper is through to the semi-finals at Queen's but it wasn't a straightforward win for the second seed. 

The British number one wasn't at his sparkling best again this afternoon and faced a tricky test against American Brandon Nakashima but he came through in the crucial moments to edge to a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 victory and book his place in the semi-finals.

That confirms Draper as the fourth seed at Wimbledon which means he won't face Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner until the semi-finals if he makes it that far. 

16:00 CET - Another positive week by Clara Tauson has come to an end after she was beaten by the more experienced Pole of Magda Linette.

Linette won 6-2, 7-5 to book her place in the semi-finals at Nottingham.

15:10 CET - Alexander Zverev has managed to overcome Flavio Cobolli on home turf in Halle, beating his Italian opponent 6-4, 7-6(6) to seal a spot in the last four. He will face Daniil Medvedev in a very intriguing semi-final clash, with both players searching for some form in 2025.

14:36 CET - Jiri Lehecka has upset the home support at Queen's by comfortably defeating British player Jacob Fearnley 7-5, 6-2 to progress to the semi-finals. 

End of the road at Queen's for Fearnley, but it was a positive week for a player improving all the time and encouraging signs ahead of the big event at his home, Wimbledon, at the end of the month.

13:58 CET - Dayana Yastremska is the first woman into the Nottingham semi-finals after seeing off fifth seed Leylah Fernandez, 6-3, 7-6(6), in an hour and 49 minutes.

13:38 CET - Some more unfortunate fitness news for Paula Badosa. The Spaniard has had to retire from her clash with Xinyu Wang due to feeling unwell after losing the first set 6-1, with means the Chinese player is into the Berlin semi-finals.

13:12 CET - Daniil Medvedev has sealed his place in the Halle semi-finals, with the Russian producing an assured display to see off the challenge of Alex Michelsen 6-4, 6-3.

12:58 CET - Marketa Vondrousova is the first woman through to the semi-finals in Berlin after the 2023 Wimbledon champion eased past Ons Jabeur in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1.

The Czech will face either top seed Aryna Sabalenka or Elena Rybakina in the last four.

09:58 CET - Today's action gets underway in just over 90 minutes, as former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova comes up against Ons Jabeur in Berlin and Daniil Medvedev takes on Alex Michelsen in Halle.

Later on, the standout clash comes at 16:00 CET, with Aryna Sabalenka facing Elena Rybakina at the WTA 500 in Berlin, while Carlos Alcaraz, Jack Draper and Holger Rune are all involved in the Queen's quarter-finals.
