PARIS (REUTERS): Alexander Zverev swept past Kei Nishikori 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 to reach the French Open quarter-finals for a third time on Sunday.

After a competitive opening set, the powerful German raced away from the Japanese player who lacked the firepower to make any impression on the sixth seed.

Zverev hit 25 winners and wrapped up the win in one hour 54 minutes to set up a last-eight clash with unseeded Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
