The Italian top seed, ranked sixth in the world, made his superiority show against the formidable German, who's last ATP Tour loss came at the hands of Novak Djokovic in Shanghai. Musetti will take on fifth seed Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the next round. Mpetshi Perricard won his Round of 16 match after Nikoloz Basilashvili retired having lost the first set.  Earlier on Centre Court, second seed Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime was taken to a deciding set to get past Damir Dzumhur in a tight contest, 7-6(3) 4-6 7-6(5). The 25-year-old will find out his quarter-final opponent later on Thursday evening, as Botic van de Zandschulp faces qualifier Eliot Spizzirri. (Production: Joseph Andrews)
