Kuznetsov was no match for a superb Murray, who wrapped up a quickfire victory in just one hour and 17 minutes.

Despite Murray dropping his serve in the opening game of the match, the world No. 2 was relentless from then on.

After taking the first set, the Scot needed a meagre 29 minutes to end Kuznetsov's misery and set up the tie with his Davis Cup team-mate.

Ferrer also progressed to the quarter-finals with relative ease against Fognini.

The Italian, ranked No. 43 in the world, struggled on serve in the opening set, as Ferrer proved too solid. Fognini didn't fare much better in the second set and ended the match with eight double-faults as the Spaniard marched on.

Meanwhile, Kerber ground out a straight-sets victory over Strycova in one hour and 35 minutes.

The US Open champion broke to go 4-2 up in the first set, and despite losing her own serve immediately after, she clinched the opener.

The second set was a much tighter affair, with five breaks of serve in a row before it headed into a tiebreak.

Kerber was pegged back after racing to a 4-0 lead, but her all-round quality, power and speed around the court eventually saw her over the line. At times Strycova was able to match the German from the back of the court, but her lack of consistency proved costly.

In the men's draw, Edmund had looked set for a straight-sets win until Bautista Agut, winner of two titles this year, fought back to take their match to a decider.

However, Edmund had enough in the tank to clinch the victory. The British No. 2 broke Bautista Agut's resistance and serve in the seventh game of the set and showed impressive composure to see the match out.

Edmund's opening win in China had moved him provisionally into the top 50 in the world, and this result could see him go even higher, per BBC Sport.
