DUBAI: Roger Federer moved to within three wins of his 100th career title on Wednesday after beating Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 to move into the Dubai Championship quarter-finals.
"You're definitely living on the edge at some point in the match. This is how it is," Federer said afterwards. "I'm not sure if I'm going to get to 100. Let's put it that way," added Federer, who will play Marton Fucsovics after the Hungarian's 6-4, 6-2 win over Jan-Lennard Struff.Hurkacz, ranked 77th in the world, moved into his first ATP quarter-final after needing just over two hours to complete the upset over Nishikori on a windy court, his first top 10 scalp.
"I didn't play perfect today, but I think he was playing good serves, better than I thought," Nishikori said."He played well in the important games, I didn't make many first serves when I wanted to... that cost me some important points."
