Germany’s Alexander Zverev, the No 4 seed, defeated Russian Karen Khachanov, the No 15 seed, 6-1, 6-4 to move into the last eight of the Miami Masters at the Hard Rock Stadium on Tuesday night.

Zverev, ranked No 5, will play Hungarian Fabian Marozsan next. This will be the 27th career quarter-final for the German at the ATP Masters 1000 level and his fourth at the Miami Open.
