Top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz cruised into the quarterfinals of the Mutua Madrid Open on Tuesday following a 6–1, 6–2 victory over 13th-seeded Alexander Zverev.

Second-seeded Daniil Medvedev wasn’t as fortunate, however. The Russian dropped a 7–6 (1), 6–4 decision to countryman Aslan Karatsev in their fourth-round match.
