The Lexus Eastbourne Open 2025 quarterfinals brought high-quality grass-court tennis and plenty of excitement as four men advanced to the semifinals with standout performances. Fans in Eastbourne were treated to a mix of powerful baseline rallies, strategic net play, and home-crowd drama.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina continued his fine form on grass, defeating Czech rising star Jakub Mensik in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5. The Spaniard used his athleticism and variety to disrupt Mensik’s rhythm, particularly on crucial points. Despite a strong challenge from the Czech, Fokina held his nerve to advance with solid serving and explosive shot-making.
In an all-American clash, top seed Taylor Fritz edged out Marcos Giron in a tight three-set battle, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5. Fritz started strong but lost control in the second set as Giron raised his level. However, the 2022 Eastbourne champion found his groove in the deciding set, showcasing his big serve and flat groundstrokes to secure a hard-fought win.
On Court 1, France’s Ugo Humbert silenced the home crowd with a commanding 7-6(4), 6-1 victory over British wildcard Billy Harris. The first set was closely contested and decided by a tiebreak, but Humbert’s confidence grew in the second, as he dominated the rallies and broke Harris’s serve multiple times.
In another impressive display, American Jenson Brooksby dispatched British No. 2 Dan Evans with ease, 6-2, 6-3. Brooksby’s unorthodox style, deceptive pace, and strategic placement left Evans struggling to find answers throughout the match.
