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.
The German did not face a single break point against his serve in the one-hour, nine-minute encounter.
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.
It also marks the first time that the 26-year-old has reached the last eight at both the events in the Sunshine Double – Indian Wells and Miami.
