Dan Evans is through to the quarter-finals of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna after defeating Jurij Rodionov in straight sets.

The British No 1, who reached the European Open semi-finals in Antwerp last week, beat Austrian wildcard Rodionov 7-5 6-3.

Evans came from a break down in both sets and reeled off the last five games to secure victory.

The 30-year-old will face Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov in the last eight after he shocked Greek world No 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3.

Evans was dismantled by Tsitsipas in less than an hour the last time they met at the Hamburg Open last month. Dimitrov enjoys a 3-1 winning record against the Brit, including victory in their most recent meeting at the ATP Cup in January.

US Open champion Dominic Thiem came through in comprehensive fashion, beating Chile's Cristian Garin 6-3 6-2.

The Austrian, seeded two, will meet Andrey Rublev, who was leading Jannik Sinner 2-1 when the Italian retired due to a right foot injury.
