The Rogers Cup was in the quarterfinal stages for both the men's and women's tournament on Friday from Montreal and Toronto. 

With both of the top-two seeds still in play on the men's and women's sides, quality tennis was plentiful as the field was cut down to just four. Continue for a look at Friday's results and Saturday's upcoming schedule.

Men's 

Men's No. 1 Novak Djokovic overcame an early bobble to defeat Ernests Gulbis in three sets (5-7, 7-6, 6-1)  on Friday night to move on to the semifinals. 

Djokovic had to save two Gulbis match points in the second set and managed to come back in tie-breaking fashion. Gulbis was playing some of the best tennis he has ever played, leaving Djokovic flabbergasted at times, as Tennis TV shows:



The win ensures that Djokovic remains undefeated at Masters events this year, according to the New York Times' Ben Rothenberg.
