World number two Novak Djokovic is into the semi-finals of the Madrid Open after his quarter-final opponent Kei Nishikori withdrew with a wrist injury.
Japan‘s world number eight missed last month’s Barcelona Open with the injury and faces a race to be fit for the French Open starting on 22 May.
Defending champion Djokovic will play the winner of Rafael Nadal and David Goffin in Saturday’s last four.
