The world's top two players have advanced to the quarter-finals of the ATP and WTA Miami hardcourt tournament on Tuesday with both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal posting straight-sets victories - but one of the hot favourites and contender for the title Roger Federer had a crashing fall.
World No.1 Serb Djokovic beat French 17th seed Richard Gasquet 7-5 6-3.
World No.2 Nadal of Spain progressed with a 6-4 6-4 victory over Japanese 16th seed Kei Nishikori. Nadal, a three-time Miami runner-up who has never lifted the trophy at the $US9.6 million event, will face the winner of a later match between French sixth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and German 19th seed Florian Mayer.
World No.2 Russian Maria Sharapova of Russia advanced to the semi-finals with a 6-3 6-0 victory over Chinese eighth seed Li Na. Sharapova will next face the winner of a later match between US 10th seed Serena Williams and Denmark's fourth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki.
