It’s Maria Sharapova vs Simona Halep in the Cincinnati Open quarterfinals on Friday night.

The pair are scheduled to start playing at 7 p.m. EDT.

The match will be broadcast on ESPN 2 in the United States and SportsNet One in Canada.

Sky Sports 3 is broadcasting the tournament in the United Kingdom.

Live streaming will be available through Watch ESPN.

Sharapova of Russia, ranked No. 5 in the tournament and No. 6 in the world, defeated unranked Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in the previous round, 6-4, 7-6(2).

Halep of Romania, ranked No. 2 in the tournament and No. 2 in the world, defeated No. 16 Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic in the previous round, 6-4, 7-5.

Sharapova and Halep have met four times so far--at the Indian Wells and Beijing Open in 2012, and at the Madrid Open and French Open this year. Sharapova won all four matches.

But in a sign of the progression Halep has made, she fought hard at the French Open, with the final coming at 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-4.

And the two matches this year have been in finals.
