Novak Djokovic meets Milos Raonic and Rafael Nadal faces Joao Sousa in Fridays Madrid Open quarter-finals, live on Sky Sports 2 HD. Andy Murray begins the days action from 11am when he takes on Tomas Berdych.The Scot resumes his rivalry against the big-serving Czech and leads the head-to-head 7-6, having only got himself in front with victories on the last three occasions they have met. A note of caution for Murray is that Berdych has won all three of their clay-court encounters, with the world number two taking just one set in those meetings.The last of those encounters on the red dirt came in 2013 and Murray is a very different beast these days. He comes into the match having shaken off the rust following some understandable time off as a new father. Berdych is Murrays quarter-final opponent on Friday After reaching the final of the Australian Open, Murray took almost a month out of the game before returning successfully with two wins in the Davis Cup.Early exits in Indian Wells and Miami followed, but a semi-final run in Monte Carlo and his form here suggest that he is getting back to his best ahead of the French Open later this monthMurray, the defending champion, was in fine form to see off the potentially awkward Gilles Simon in round three, while Berdych was equally impressive in beating David Ferrer in straight sets. Highlights of Gilles Simon v Andy Murray from the third round of the Madrid Open. Mutua Madrid Open - Quarter Final draw Top Half Novak Djokovic (1) v Milos Raonic (11) Nick Kyrgios v Kei Nishikori (6) Bottom Half Rafa Nadal (5) v Joao Sousa Tomas Berdych (8) v Andy Murray (1) Rafa Nadal is aiming for a third successive tournament victory, having won in Monte Carlo and Barcelona. He is currently on a 12-game winning streak - Sam Querrey his latest victim - and is demonstrating that talk of his demise is premature.That run is unlikely to come to a halt against Portugals Joao Sousa, who has done well to reach a first-ever Masters quarter-final but won only one game in his only previous meeting with the Spaniard. Nadal is expected to come through comfortably. Highlights of Rafael Nadal against Sam Querrey from the third round of the Madrid Open. Masters of their Trade Where do Rafa and Novak rank in the all time Masters list One to WatchNovak Djokovic and Milos Raonic meet in the final match of the day on the main stadium court and it could be a cracker, despite the one-sided nature of their head-to-head - the world number one has won all six previous meetings, including a 6-2 6-0 success at the Indian Wells final earlier this year. Andy Murray will take on Tomas Berdych at the Madrid Open, live on Sky Sports Raonic was struck by injury in that match and when he hasnt been sidelined, the Canadians form has been as good as anyone this year. He is up to number 10 in the latest world rankings, claiming one title - the Brisbane International - to go with his runs to the semi-final of the Australian Open and the Indian Wells final.However, Djokovic looked ominously back to his very best with a ruthless 6-2 6-1 destruction of Roberto Bautista Agut in the last 16 and looks to have put his second-round Monte Carlo defeat to Jiri Vesely firmly behind him. Highlights of Novak Djokovic against Roberto Bautista Agut from the third round of the Madrid Open. Surprise in Store?Nick Kyrgios is one of two unseeded players left in the draw and he takes on sixth seed Kei Nishikori in what we have to pick as our surprise, although the game itself could easily have made our one to watch. Nick Kyrgios is enjoying another impressive Masters run Nishikori has been in terrific form without quite getting over the line, reaching the final in each of his last two events (Miami and Barcelona), while Kyrgios has shown a maturity to his game and behaviour this year that has seen him claim a maiden ATP title in Marseille and make a first Masters semi-final in Miami.The 21-year from Canberra will hope to add a second when his faces Nishikori, the man who ended his run in Florida with a straight-sets win in their last-four showdown. 2016 Masters 1000 - Winners Indian Wells Novak Djokovic Miami Novak Djokovic Monte Carlo Rafa Nadal In Case You Missed ItBernard Tomic has been in the news again for all the wrong reasons, despite appearing to have regained his focus for much of the season.And earlier this week, he appeared to give up against Fabio Fognini when he turned his racket upside down to receive at match point down with his handle!

Under-pressure Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has moved on from attacking England coach Eddie Jones by turning his attentions to another former Randwick teammate: Glen Ella.Ella told the Daily Mail that Cheika would be having nightmares about losing again to Jones following the 3-0 series whitewash in Australia earlier this year.He also criticised his reaction to a New Zealand newspaper who portrayed him as a clown on its front cover.But Cheika, whos been in attack mode all week as the Wallabies build to a huge clash with England, appears to have had enough, especially after dreams of a grand slam were dashed 27-24 by Ireland in Dublin.Ella was part of Jones backroom team during the June series and although hes no longer part of the England set-up, Cheika didnt hold back when asked about his comments.Its funny, you know everyones up the front of the bus when theyve had a win, a guy like Glen in particular, Cheika said.Hes always up the front of the bus for a handout when hes had a win.But when its tough and youve got to run uphill, havent seen that bloke or havent seen a few of those blokes around.I dont think hes working with England anymore but any Aussie that would be supporting England against Australia, especially a guy that has played for the Wallabies, theres got to be a reason why.I dont know if hes bitter. Maybe they want to get us kicked out and have a job there, Im not sure.After his memorable end to 2015 when he took an unfancied side to thee World Cup final, Cheika is facing the first major test of his international coaching tenure.ddddddddddddDefeat at Twickenham would see him end the year with a record of six defeats and nine losses from 15 matches and he admits if he was to be sacked, he couldnt ever see a day when he would coach against Australia.Im upset about losing at the time of course, yeah, and then you get over it, he said.But for the year as a whole? I think weve improved and were going well and well stay working on our things and when the bigger tournaments come around well see if that plan worked out or not for both sides.If a person decides to do that (coach against Australia), thats OK.No one was saying anything bad when Eddie was coaching Japan. Youve got to keep that level. Its your approach to your old team. Each to their own.Despite the verbal sparring from the two coaches, Cheika said he respects Jones and said playing the media was all part of the veteran coachs plan.Hes just geeing up. I remember when he was coaching Queensland and they were 0-and-13 and they got beaten by 95 in South Africa, he said.There was a bit of grief for a day or two but then no one was pointing the finger at him forever.Hes respected for that by me as a former teammate of his and as a player. I think you saw when he was in Australia that he got a lot of respect. ' ' '
