Top seed Daniil Medvedev reached the ATP and WTA Cincinnati Masters quarter-finals on Thursday with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over fellow former champion Grigor Dimitrov.

The Russian World No. 2 stretched his record against the Bulgarian to 3-1. Medvedev had to deal with the draining heat and summer humidity during his 90-minute win.
Medvedev will next face Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, who defeated ninth seed Hubert Hurkacz of Poland 7-6 (8/6), 7-6 (7/3).

Third-seeded Olympic gold medallist Alexander Zverev got past Argentine Guido Pella with a comfortable 6-2, 6-3 result in 73 minutes while never facing a break point.
