What Are The Quarterfinals In Tennis?
Quarter-finals are the third to last round of a tennis tournament. Quarter-final games are usually single-elimination, meaning a competitor is eliminated from the tournament once they lose a quarter-final match. This round of games may also be known as the Round of 8, as there are eight competitors left in the tournament when the quarterfinals take place.
Quarterfinal Round
Four matches take place in the quarter-finals, each being played between two competitors. The four winners of each match move on to compete in the semi-finals, which then lead to the finals. Different tournaments may have different numbers of rounds, but each of the five major tennis tournaments have seven rounds, so the quarter-finals constitute the fifth round of those tournaments.
