Australian Alex de Minaur got rid of Peque Diego Schwartzman (6-2, 6-2) without problems and will play the quarterfinals of the Queen's tournament.
Schwartzman, who completed one of his best matches of the year in the first round against American Mackenzie McDonald, could not with a De Minaur, much more accustomed to this grass surface, and who came from passing over a fatigued Andy Murray.
The Australian, who already played here in the semifinals in 2021, only made nine winning shots, committed a dozen unforced errors and gave up his serve six times.
De Minaur adds his fourth appearance in a quarter-final this season, after Rotterdam, Acapulco and Barcelona and will face the winner of the duel between Frenchman Adrian Mannarino and American Taylor Fritz in the next round.
