Betfair punters see Tomas Berdych as the favourite to take the BMW Open in Munich, after another impressive display from the world number 12.
The man from the Czech Republic, seeded two at the German event, cruised past Chile's Nicolas Massu in straight sets 7-5 6-1.
Berdych will now play unseeded Frenchman Nicolas Devilder in the last eight, following his 6-3 7-5 victory over German qualifier Tobias Summerer.
Having earlier traded at 12, the 21-year-old Czech is the 2.62 favourite to win the tournament, with Russia's Mikhail Youzhny is next best at 4.1.
Yozhny will take on Jurgen Melzer in the last eight while Sebastien Grosjean will face Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, after the latter's surprise win over fifth seed Jarkko Nieminen.
The remaining quarter-final tie sees Marcos Baghdatis come up against home player Alexander Waske.
