Tennis: Roger Federer eases past Daniil Medvedev to reach Miami Open quarter-finals

Roger Federer moved into the quarter-finals at the Miami Open after a straight forward 6-4, 6-2 victory over the 13th-seed Daniil Medvedev. The three-time Miami champion took just over one hour to beat the Russian and will play the sixth-seeded Kevin Anderson in the last eight on Thursday. Federer broke Medvedev in the ninth game of the opening set, survived being down 0-40 to close out that set on his serve and then broke the Russian again in the first game of the second set. The 37-year-old won nine of the final 11 games, to reach his 84th Masters 1000 quarter-final. The Federer-Medvedev match was originally scheduled for Tuesday and wound up being delayed a day by rain. That means if Federer is to win the tournament, he'll need to win four matches in a five-day span.
