New Delhi, Feb 13 (IANS) Top seeds Vit Kopriva and Billy Harris continued their runs at the 2025 Delhi Open on Thursday, sealing their berths in the singles quarterfinals with comfortable wins over their respective opponents.
Meanwhile, doubles’ second seeds Niki Poonacha and Courtney John Lock progressed to the semifinals with a hard-fought win in a nail-biting three-set thriller against Japan’s Shintaro Mochizuki and Kaito Uesugi.

Top seed and World No. 127 Kopriva remained flawless in the singles event, securing a 6-4, 6-1 victory over compatriot Dalibor Svrcina to reach the last eight. Later in the day, he teamed up with Hynek Barton in the doubles event, producing another 6-4, 6-1 win, this time over Kris Van Wyk and Eric Vanshelboim, booking a spot in the semifinals.
