- March 25 at 20:00 | Martin Landaluce vs. Jiri Lehecka This is a match where we will get a completely unexpected semifinalist. Landaluce is playing the tournament of his life, but Lehecka is full of confidence after eliminating Fritz. Expect a balanced battle with many long rallies.
- March 26 at 01:30 | Tommy Paul vs. Arthur Fils An absolute blockbuster and a real treat for the night owls! The explosive Frenchman who humiliated Tsitsipas goes up against the experienced American who will have the massive backing of the home crowd.
- March 26 at 18:00 | Francisco Cerundolo vs. Alexander Zverev* Cerundolo has already shown he can take down giants by eliminating Medvedev, but Zverev is playing extremely solid tennis. The German will need to raise his first-serve percentage if he wants to avoid another drama.
