Canadian Vasek Pospisil has made it to the Topshelf Open quarterfinals and will play Benjamin Becker on June 19.

The tennis match is scheduled to start at 7 a.m. EDT (1 p.m. CEST).

The match doesn’t appear to be slated for broadcast in either Canada or the United States.

Live streaming will be available via ATP or TennisTV.

Pospisil, ranked No. 6, beat unranked Jan-Lenard Struff (6-4, 6-2) in the second round to advance.

Becker, unranked and of Germany, beat unranked Dudi Sela of Israel in the second round (6-2, 7-5).

Pospisil and Becker have only met once before, earlier this year at the Irving Tennis Classic in the first round.

Becker won in three sets (6-2, 4-6, 6-3).

In another matches in the Topshelf Open, a grass-court warm-up ahead of Wimbledon, second-seeded Spaniard Fernando Verdasco beat wild-card entry Jesse Huta Galung 7-5, 6-3.

Three players retired from matches in the women’s draw, with French Open finalist and top-seeded Simona Halep pulling out due a sore right shoulder when she was leading 5-7, 3-2 against Annika Beck of Germany. Fourth-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain retired when China’s Zheng Jie was leading 7-5, 0-1; and Vania King left the court in the third set against fellow American Coco Vandeweghe, who was leading 6-7 (6), 6-0, 2-1.

Verdasco earned the first break of his match in the 12th game of the first set when Huta Galung knocked an easy backhand out.

In the second set, Verdasco broke the Dutch home favorite in the fourth game with a forehand passing shot. Verdasco saved a break point in his final service game before serving out the match.

Verdasco will next play Jurgen Melzer after the Austrian beat Lukas Lacko 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. Joao Sousa of Portugal also advanced, along with seventh-seeded Frenchman Nicolas Mahut.

In other women’s matches, Urkraine’s Elina Svitolina had a 7-6 (4), 6-4 upset win over No. 6-seeded Kirsten Flipkens and eighth-seeded Klara Koukalova defeated Mona Barthel of Germany 6-2, 7-6 (6).
