Murray, who lost last year's final to Djokovic in Madrid, had 28 unforced errors in a disappointing outing under the closed roof of the center court in Madrid. Djokovic won in Doha to start the year but never made it past the quarterfinals in the following four tournaments he played since then. He will next play against sixth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan, who defeated David Ferrer 6-4, 6-3 to deny the Spaniard his 700th career win. She will play Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia, who defeated Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands 6-3, 6-3. Kristina Mladenovic of France advanced to the final four by beating Sorana Cirstea of Romania 6-4, 6-4.
