Cape Town - South Africa’s Kevin Anderson has reached the quarter-finals of the Estoril Open in Portugal.
The South African No 1 defeated local qualifier Joao Domingues 5-7, 6-3, 7-5 in their Round of 16 clay-court duel on Wednesday.
Earlier in the week, Anderson defeated Italian qualifier Salvatore Caruso 6-2, 6-3 in their first round match.
Anderson will now face second-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet in the quarter-finals on Friday.
