Friday was quarter-final day in Monte Carlo, where Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner faced their toughest tests yet as they look to claim the first major clay-court title of the season.

23:45 CET - That's all from us this evening on the Tennis Tracker but be sure to tune in again tomorrow as the Billie Jean King Cup continues and the Monte Carlo Masters semi-finals begin!

23:40 CET - Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina (29) has beaten Romania’s Jaqueline Cristian (25) 6-3, 6-4 to give her country a 2-0 lead in their Billie Jean King Cup qualifier after earlier, Lesia Tsurenko (34) beat Ana Bogdan (31) 3-6, 6-2, 6-0.

The results leave Ukraine in a commanding position in the tie with the reverse singles tomorrow.

18:51 CET - In France, Emma Raducanu (21) has claimed her best win in a long time, coming from behind to beat Caroline Garcia (30) 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 and level up the Billie Jean King Cup tie between Great Britain and the hosts.

18:20 CET - It wasn't as easy as the scoreline would suggest, but Novak Djokovic (36) has made it through to the final four in Monte Carlo with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Alex De Minaur (25).

The world number one looked exhausted at times, but as he so often does, found a way to win. 

16:07 CET - Novak Djokovic (36) is about to take to the court in Monte Carlo, where he will face world number 11 Alex De Minaur (25), who boats an impressive 22-5 record in 2024.

The Aussie beat the Serb in the United Cup in January, can he do so again?

15:51 CET - Sinner's done it! The Italian stepped things up late in the final set to break Rune's serve and win 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 to move into the semi-finals. 

His stunning start to the year continues, just about. 

15:09 CET - Well, we said it would be a cracker, and a cracker it is!

After losing the first set 6-4 to Sinner, Rune saved two match points in front of a crowd firmly against him with some stunning play to win the second 7-6 (6). Into a decider we go.

13:00 CET - Tsitsipas will face the winner of the next match, which promises to be a cracker, with Jannik Sinner (22) taking on Holger Rune (20).

Sinner may arguably be the best player in the world at the moment, but Rune has enjoyed more success on clay and won when the two met at this tournament last year.
