Novak Djokovic eased into the Miami Open quarter-finals with a commanding 6-2, 6-2 victory over Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in just 82 minutes.

The Serbian star, chasing his 100th tour-level title, is now three wins away from glory.

Djokovic, a six-time champion in Miami, overcame an early 0-2 deficit before rattling off nine consecutive games.

He will now face American Sebastian Korda, who battled past Gael Monfils in a rain-disrupted match.

Elsewhere, Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo stunned fifth-seed Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-2 to book a quarter-final spot against Grigor Dimitrov.

Meanwhile, Matteo Berrettini edged out Alex de Minaur in a tense 6-3, 7-6(7) win and will meet Taylor Fritz next.
