Marin Cilic strolled into the quarter-finals of the ATP 500 Basel with a one-sided win over Teymuraz Gabashvili.

The former US Open winner recorded a swift 6-3 6-1 win to set up a last-eight clash against Rafael Nadal in Switzerland.

Seventh seed Cilic needed just an hour and 15 minutes to eliminate Gabashvili, hitting seven aces and 21 winners along the way.

Ivo Karlovic has also advanced after a 7-6 7-5 win over Dusan Lajovic and will await the winner of Richard Gasquet's match against Dominic Thiem. 

But John Isner, seeded sixth, has bowed out of the tournament after suffering a 7-6 6-3 defeat to fellow American Jack Sock, who will next face another compatriot Donald Young.
