(2) Fernando Verdasco def. Karol Beck 6-4, 6-0
Second seed Fernando Verdasco advanced to the final four of the Malaysian Open after knocking out Karol Beck in straight sets. The Spaniard secured six of 9 break point opportunities during the match, notching a 6-4, 6-0 in one hour and 10 minutes. Beck struggled to win points in the second set, capturing just six of 20 on serve.
Verdasco is set to square off against Richard Gasquet in the quarterfinals. The Frenchman rallied to down wildcard Joachim Johansson, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2. The Spaniard trails Gasquet 3-4 in the head-to-head, but has taken the last three consecutive contests since 2007.

Berdych will take on third seed Robin Soderling for a spot in the semifinals. The Swede cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 victory over American qualifier Brendan Evans on Wednesday.
