While in the women's bracket, world number two Caroline Wozniacki cruised her way into the quarterfinals with a straight sets win over Magdalena Rybarikova, world number four Elina Svitolina thrashed Denisa Allertova, Belgium's Elise Mertens got the better of Petra Martic and Carla Suarez Navarro edged out Anett Kontaveit in a three-set thriller.

Despite all the action of day seven, Chinese Taipei's Hsieh Su-Wei became one of the biggest talking points, when she teamed up with China's Peng Shuai in the women's doubles less than 24 hours before one of the biggest matches of her singles career against Germany's Angelique Kerber.

The duo eased their way past Raquel Atawo and Anna-Lena Groenefeld and will now move into the quarterfinals.
