Second-seeded Grigor Dimitrov is safely through to the semi-finals of the 2016 TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Open after beating Jiri Vesely in straight sets.

The Bulgarian swept past his opponent with considerable ease on Friday after a gritty first-set encounter, eventually prevailing 7-6 (1), 6-1 against the sixth seed on Day 7 of the tournament at Garanti Koza Arena.

Argentinian Diego Schwartzman also secured his place in the last four of the competition with a 5-7, 7-6 (4), 6-4 win over Bosnian Damir Dzumhur.

In Friday’s other final-eight encounters, Federico Delbonis secured his place in the next round with a 7-6 (6), 6-4 triumph over Spain’s Albert Ramos-Vinolas, and Ivo Karlovic beat Marcel Granollers in a three-set battle, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (5), 6-4.
