German Tennis Championships 2016: Thursday Scores, Results, Latest Draw Schedule

Eighth seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez wasted little time in booking his quarter-final spot at the 2016 German Tennis Championships as he beat Slovenia's Grega Zemlja 6-2, 6-2 in the second round on Thursday in Hamburg.

Thursday Recap 

Robert came through his clash with Cervantes after more than two hours of tough tennis.

The pair exchanged breaks in the opening set with Robert hanging in by the skin of his teeth, per TennisTV:

After regaining a foothold, he claimed another of Cervantes' service games at the best possible time to win the first 7-5.

Far from collapsing, though, the Spaniard came back strong in the second set and took all three of the break points he was offered to prevail 6-4 and level the match. 

The third set was similarly closely fought but, while Robert took his chances, Cervantes could not capitalise on any of the 10 break points he forced in the decider, and the Frenchman took the match.

As can be seen by the statistics, it was Robert's ability to take his chances that won him the match, and world No. 82 Cervantes will surely be rueing the opportunities he missed, per TennisTV:

Garcia-Lopez was simply too good for Zemlja as he advanced to the next round in just shy of 75 minutes.

The world No. 56—ranked 95 places higher than his opponent—served excellently and was broken just once in the two sets.

Garcia-Lopez himself claimed five breaks of serve and overwhelmed Zemlja in the end.

The Spaniard's first-serve percentage of 72, compared to his opponent's 47, was very much the difference-maker in the contest, per Pro Tennis Live.

Against the 17-year-old wildcard Wessels, it was Klizan's returning that set him apart as he broke the youngster three times in the first set.

Per Pro Tennis Live, he won over half of the points played on the German's first serve and 100 per cent of those on his second.

As TennisTV revealed, Klizan was making use of his full array of shots:

Wessels was able to earn two break points himself but was unable to convert.

It was a similar story in the second set as Klizan's ruthlessness and Wessels' inability to threaten with his serve produced the same scoreline, with the Slovak finishing the match off in style, per tennis writer Jake Davies:

In the final match, Medvedev and Gimeno-Traver exchanged breaks in a tight contest with the former taking two to the latter's one.

At 6-5, Medvedev held off three break points as he battled back to deuce before seeing out the set, which took over an hour.

The second set was a similarly hard-fought affair as each bagged a break once again. Indeed, with both players having to fight for every point, Davies believed Medvedev's stamina could be an issue later in the tournament:

With neither able to gain a clear advantage over the other, the set inevitably reached a tiebreak, which the Spaniard edged.

It was Gimeno-Traver who took the lead in the decider, but as he served for the match with the scores at 5-4, the Russian finally converted a break point at the 10th attempt in the set and they once again went to a tiebreak. Medvedev was unable to maintain his efforts and was subsequently swept aside.

After playing for over three hours, Gimeno-Traver will be far less fresh than semi-final opponent Klizan, whose whole match lasted less than an hour. He put in a phenomenal effort here, but it may well take its toll in the next round.
