Novak Djokovic meets Milos Raonic and Rafael Nadal faces Joao Sousa in Fridays Madrid Open quarter-finals, live on Sky Sports 2 HD. Andy Murray begins the days action from 11am when he takes on Tomas Berdych.The Scot resumes his rivalry against the big-serving Czech and leads the head-to-head 7-6, having only got himself in front with victories on the last three occasions they have met. A note of caution for Murray is that Berdych has won all three of their clay-court encounters, with the world number two taking just one set in those meetings.The last of those encounters on the red dirt came in 2013 and Murray is a very different beast these days. He comes into the match having shaken off the rust following some understandable time off as a new father. Berdych is Murrays quarter-final opponent on Friday After reaching the final of the Australian Open, Murray took almost a month out of the game before returning successfully with two wins in the Davis Cup.Early exits in Indian Wells and Miami followed, but a semi-final run in Monte Carlo and his form here suggest that he is getting back to his best ahead of the French Open later this monthMurray, the defending champion, was in fine form to see off the potentially awkward Gilles Simon in round three, while Berdych was equally impressive in beating David Ferrer in straight sets.

Mutua Madrid Open - Quarter Final draw Top Half Novak Djokovic (1) v Milos Raonic (11) Nick Kyrgios v Kei Nishikori (6) Bottom Half Rafa Nadal (5) v Joao Sousa Tomas Berdych (8) v Andy Murray (1) Rafa Nadal is aiming for a third successive tournament victory, having won in Monte Carlo and Barcelona. He is currently on a 12-game winning streak - Sam Querrey his latest victim - and is demonstrating that talk of his demise is premature.That run is unlikely to come to a halt against Portugals Joao Sousa, who has done well to reach a first-ever Masters quarter-final but won only one game in his only previous meeting with the Spaniard. Nadal is expected to come through comfortably. Highlights of Rafael Nadal against Sam Querrey from the third round of the Madrid Open. Masters of their Trade Where do Rafa and Novak rank in the all time Masters list One to WatchNovak Djokovic and Milos Raonic meet in the final match of the day on the main stadium court and it could be a cracker, despite the one-sided nature of their head-to-head - the world number one has won all six previous meetings, including a 6-2 6-0 success at the Indian Wells final earlier this year. Andy Murray will take on Tomas Berdych at the Madrid Open, live on Sky Sports Raonic was struck by injury in that match and when he hasnt been sidelined, the Canadians form has been as good as anyone this year. He is up to number 10 in the latest world rankings, claiming one title - the Brisbane International - to go with his runs to the semi-final of the Australian Open and the Indian Wells final.However, Djokovic looked ominously back to his very best with a ruthless 6-2 6-1 destruction of Roberto Bautista Agut in the last 16 and looks to have put his second-round Monte Carlo defeat to Jiri Vesely firmly behind him.

Surprise in Store?Nick Kyrgios is one of two unseeded players left in the draw and he takes on sixth seed Kei Nishikori in what we have to pick as our surprise, although the game itself could easily have made our one to watch. Nick Kyrgios is enjoying another impressive Masters run Nishikori has been in terrific form without quite getting over the line, reaching the final in each of his last two events (Miami and Barcelona), while Kyrgios has shown a maturity to his game and behaviour this year that has seen him claim a maiden ATP title in Marseille and make a first Masters semi-final in Miami.The 21-year from Canberra will hope to add a second when his faces Nishikori, the man who ended his run in Florida with a straight-sets win in their last-four showdown. 2016 Masters 1000 - Winners Indian Wells Novak Djokovic Miami Novak Djokovic Monte Carlo Rafa Nadal In Case You Missed ItBernard Tomic has been in the news again for all the wrong reasons, despite appearing to have regained his focus for much of the season.And earlier this week, he appeared to give up against Fabio Fognini when he turned his racket upside down to receive at match point down with his handle!

Wayne Bennett has begun the rugby league mind games in earnest ahead of the Four Nations, according to someone who knows the supercoach better than most, Sam Thaiday.Despite months of speculation he would select turncoat Australian players for his England side, coach Bennett did the opposite on Monday, when he picked only born-and-bred locals for his 24-man squad.Bennett was named as England coach in February after missing out on the Australian job in December to Mal Meninga.And Thaiday said he would have been planning the sometimes quirky ins and outs of his Four Nations campaign then.He is the best at those mind games - that is why he does it, Thaiday told AAP on Wednesday.He probably had a vision in his mind of what he wanted to do from the start and he was probably throwing people off in saying that.I know he spent a bit of time over in England this year watching a few games and that is why he went with the team he picked and that whole picking of turncoat players was probably a throw off to get people off his back.The speculation upset some within the Australian camp, including skipper Cameron Smith, who expressed their concerns about Bennetts possible motivation.But Thaiday, playing NRRL under Bennett at Brisbane, said it would have also been aimed at igniting passion within his England squad.ddddddddddddI hope so, he saidWho knows what goes on in Waynes backwards mind? But that is probably another reason why he is doing it - to fire up and inspire those English boys - to first of all play well for their clubs so that he can pick them for the national team and then getting them playing well for England.Wayne will want to go over there and be successful. He is not going to want to take up the English job like he has and come home with his tail between his legs.He will be doing everything right now to make sure they are fighting fit and ready to go.Thaiday said Bennetts selection policy was a good thing for international rugby league.If we want to grow our game and make our game even bigger, you need to keep your local stars local wherever they are, whether they are New Zealand players, English players or Australian players, Thaiday said in Perth ahead of Saturdays Test against New Zealand at nib Stadium.Wayne has gone down the right path there.
