Bergs reached the quarters after overcoming Canada's Gabriel Diallo 3-6 7-5 7-6(8) in a tightly contested match at the Qi Zhong Tennis Center. The 44th-ranked Bergs, who saved two match points in the final tie-break, achieved his first-ever quarter-final berth in a Masters 1000 event.  Meanwhile, Denmark's Holger Rune advanced after defeating France's Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-4 6-7(9) 6-3 in a hard-fought three-set match. Rune, who claimed his only ATP Masters 1000 title in Paris in 2022, secured two key breaks during the two-hour-and-30-minute match despite winning just 27% of points on Perricard's serve.  (Production: Suramya Kaushik, Bhagya Ayyavoo, Kurt Michael Hall)
