With this week's tournaments nearing their end, some of the world's best players are battling it out for a semi-final spot across Europe and Asia.

22:50 CET - In the final match of the day, American Marcos Giron (31) crushed Zizou Bergs (25) 6-2, 6-2 to secure his place in the Antwerp last four.

And that will be all from the Tennis Tracker today! Make sure you tune in tomorrow morning for semi-finals day, as well as some mega action from Saudi Arabia!

22:10 CET - 2013 winner Grigor Dimitrov (33) has made lightwork of Dominic Stricker (22), beating the Swiss player 6-3, 6-2 to move into the Stockholm semi-finals. With just a few weeks left until the ATP Finals in Turin, can Dimitrov make a late charge to secure a place in the world's top eight?

21:10 CET - Stefanos Tsitsipas (26) continues to struggle and take backward steps, falling to a straightforward 4-6, 4-6 defeat to Jiri Lehecka (22) in Antwerp. A two-time Grand Slam finalist, the Greek is a shadow of the player he once was. A potentially fatal blow to his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals.

20:42 CET - Casper Ruud's (25) dismal run of form has continued with a disappointing 5-7, 6-7(5) loss to Tallon Griekspoor (28) in Stockholm. The defeat means Ruud has won just two of his last eight matches.

19:28 CET - Top seed Alex De Minaur (25) has been knocked out in Antwerp, losing 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 to world number 77 Hugo Gaston (24), who hit a stunning shot on his way to victory. 

18:15 CET - Karolina Muchova (28) has been resurgent in recent months since returning from wrist surgery, reaching the US Open semi-final and Beijing final. Now as she eyes her first WTA title since 2019, she has moved into the semi-finals in Ningbo, outlasting Anna Kalinskaya (25) 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 in tough, humid conditions with the clock ticking past midnight.

17:38 CET - Third seed Karen Khachanov (28) has completed the semi-final lineup in Almaty with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Beibit Zhukayev (24).

16:55 CET - Another veteran has pulled off an upset! In Antwerp, Roberto Bautista-Agut (36) has won 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 against third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime (24).

16:05 CET - What a week Stan Wawrinka (39) is having! The three-time Grand Slam champion has beaten top seed Andrey Rublev (26) 7-6, 7-6 to move into his first semi-final in over a year in Stockholm.

14:45 CET - Former world No. 2 Paula Badosa (26) has had a fabulous second half of 2024, and her great form shows no sign of letting up. The Spaniard coasted past No. 6 seed Beatriz Haddad Maia (28) 6-3, 6-2 to move into the semi-finals in Ningbo and set up a meeting with Russia's Daria Kasatkina (27).

13:55 CET - There's been another upset in Almaty with top seed Frances Tiafoe (26) losing 6-2, 7-6 to Aleksandar Vukic (28), who saved two set points in a thrilling final tiebreak.

In Stockholm, fourth seed Tommy Paul (27) has beaten Miomir Kecmanovic (25) 7-6, 6-2 to progress to the semi-finals.

12:47 CET - Mirra Andreeva (17) is through to the semi-finals in Ningbo with fourth seed Barbora Krejcikova (28) retiring with an injury while trailing 7-6, 3-2.

12:03 CET - Francisco Cerundolo (26) has eased past home favourite Alexander Shevchenko (23) in Almaty, winning 6-2, 6-3 in just over an hour.

Over in Osaka, Diane Parry (22) secured a hard-fought 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 win against Clara Tauson (21).

10:50 CET - The first quarter-final has been won by Daria Kasatkina (27) with the fifth seed beating Yulia Putintseva (29) 6-4, 1-6, 7-6, saving two match points in the process.

In Almaty meanwhile, second seed Alejandro Tabilo (27) has lost 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to Gabriel Diallo (23) of Canada.

10:07 CET - Two of the quarter-finals have already been completed in Osaka with Suzan Lamens (25) and Aoi Ito (20) both securing a spot in the final four.
