British number one Cameron Norrie swept aside Tomas Barrios Vera 6-1 6-1 to reach the Rio Open quarter-finals.<\/b><\/p>\n

The defending champion needed just a minute over an hour on Thursday to beat the Chilean, whose serve was broken six times in the one-sided contest.<\/p>\n

Norrie hit 21 winners in his victory on the clay and will play Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild next.<\/p>\n

“I really played well and I was really accurate,” said Norrie, who has slipped to 23rd in the ATP world rankings.<\/p>\n

“I hit close to the lines and was very disciplined on the return. I enjoyed it.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I’m going to keep focusing on myself and my level and I want to make sure to keep taking care of my matches like that.”<\/p>\n

In Doha, Czech teenager Jakub Mensik, who beat Andy Murray in the second round,<\/a> produced an even greater upset by knocking out world number five Andrey Rublev 6-4 7-6 (8-6) in the Qatar Open quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old hit 10 aces as he secured a first win against a top-five player to set up a semi-final against 37-year-old Frenchman Gael Monfils, who beat compatriot Ugo Humbert 6-2 6-4.<\/p>\n

“It’s just been an incredible week. From the beginning I played very well and I knew I could play with the big players. It’s an amazing feeling to reach the semi-finals after beating those good players,” Mensik said.<\/p>\n

“But the job is not done yet. Hopefully, I can play like this again in the semis and go on to make the final.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
