In Big Accelerator tournaments, Nadal won 33 sets in a row, and the modern tennis record (since 1968) belongs to R. Federer, who won 36 sets in a row from 2006 to 2007.
In his 43 quarter-finals of the Big Accent tournaments, the Spaniard will face Greece Stefan Tsitsip, who did not have many problems in the eighth final: his Italian rival Matteo Berrettini abandoned the duel.

“I am delighted with the victory, which continues to increase my self-confidence.” My back is much better, “laughed R. Nadal.
After winning his second Australian Open title in his career (winning his first in 2009), Nadal would raise his collection of Big Cross trophies to a record 21 titles and surpass Federer.
Nadal would also become the only tennis player in the modern tennis era, winning all four of the year’s big tournaments twice.
Another tennis star, R. Federer, is still not playing due to two knee surgeries and is planning to return to the cards in Doha.
Daniil Medvedev also reached the quarterfinals, beating American Mackenzie McDonald 6: 4, 6: 2, 6: 3. For the first time in the quarterfinals of the Great Accent tournament, up to three Russians will play.
In the quarter-finals, Medvedev will play his compatriot Andrei Rubliov, who was ahead 6: 2, 7: 6 (7: 3) when Norwegian Casper Ruud retired from injury.
Another Russian, Aslan Karasiov, will play Bulgarian Grigory Dimitrov. No Russian has been able to win the Grand Prix tournament since 2005, when Marat Safin triumphed in Melbourne.
Ashleigh Barty, the first racket on the planet, defeated American Shelby Rogers 6: 3, 6: 4 in just 71 minutes and reached the quarterfinals of the women’s singles competition.
Australia will play Czech Karolina Muchova in the quarterfinals. The latter defeated the Belgian Elise Mertens 7: 6 (7: 5), 7: 5.
American Jessica Pegula 6: 3, 3: 6, 6: 3 unexpectedly defeated Elina Svitolin. She will face her compatriot Jennifer Brady in the quarterfinals, who defeated Donna Vekič of Croatia 6: 1, 7: 5.
