(Reuters) -Philippine wildcard Alexandra Eala pulled off the biggest win of her young career with a 6-2 7-5 upset of Iga Swiatek at the Miami Open on Wednesday while Emma Raducanu's surprise run ended with a 6-4 6-7(3) 6-2 quarter-final loss to Jessica Pegula.

With the latter contest finishing close to 11.30 p.m., the men's quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Sebastian Korda was pushed to Thursday under ATP rules aimed at avoiding matches dragging on into the early hours of the morning.
