Shanghai Masters: 22nd seed Jarry moves into quarter-finals, faces Dimitrov next

Chile’s Nicolas Jarry, the No 22 seed, advanced to the last eight of the Shanghai Masters by defeating Argentinian wildcard Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 at the Qi Zhong Stadium on Wednesday.

Jarry, ranked No 22 in the world, will play Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, the No 18 seed, next.

The Chilean won against French qualifier Terence Atmane (7-5, 6-2) and Italian Lorenzo Sonego (7-6 (4), 6-2) ahead of his win today. This is a first ATP Masters level quarter-final for Jarry, and also makes him the top-ranked South American player in the world next week.
