The top two seeds — France’s Adrian Mannarino and Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia and Herzegovina — both advanced on Wednesday to the Turkish Airlines Open Antalya quarter-finals.
Top seed Mannarino, last year’s finalist, improved to 6-1 at the ATP World Tour 250 tournament with a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania in 79 minutes. He struck 10 aces and lost 10 of his first-service points (30/37).
Mannarino now faces sixth-seeded Portuguese Joao Sousa, who beat Mirza Basic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-4 in two hours and 28 minutes.
Basic’s compatriot, second seed Dzumhur, later needed one hour and 54 minutes to oust Romania’s Marius Copil 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. Copil hit 10 aces, saving 11 of 13 break points to frustrate Dzumhur, who had lost his past two matches.
Dzumhur now prepares to face France's Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who held his nerve to beat seventh-seeded Japanese Yuichi Sugita, the defending champion, 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(6) in two hours and nine minutes.
