American Mardy Fish and Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus played the role of giant killers, knocking out the first and fourth seeds by outlasting them in three set marathons.

Fish did likewise to Scot Murray, winning 6-7 (9-7), 6-1, 7-6 (7-5) in a match that lasted two hours and 56 minutes.
In another quarterfinal match, America's former world number one Andy Roddick breezed past second seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia 6-4, 7-5.
Swiss superstar Roger Federer was the only big four player remaining in the draw after beating Russian Nikolay Davydenko in straight sets 6-4, 7-5.
