Top seed Dominic Thiem is through to his 12th ATP Tour quarterfinal of the year after beating Jan-Lennard Struff to reach the last eight at the St Petersburg Open.

The Austrian recorded his 45th win on the circuit for the third straight year and equalled Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev for the most in 2018 with a 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 success over Struff.

Struff had three break points in the second set but was unable to convert any of them as Thiem set up a quarterfinal clash with Daniil Medvedev, who beat Mikhail Kukushkin.

Defending champion Damir Dzumhur also advanced to the quarterfinals, where he will face Stan Wawrinka.

Second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was eliminated at the Moselle Open as Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis secured a come-from-behind 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 win.

Seventh seed Filip Krajinovic and Benoit Paire were also ousted but fifth seed Nikoloz Basilashvili came from a set down to win.
