The top seed needed just 58 minutes to roll to victory. She only dropped nine points on serve and did not face a break point.

Kerber moves on to face Heather Watson, who stormed past Russia’s Ekaterina Makarova, 6-4, 6-1, earlier on Thursday.

Other winners to reach the quarterfinals on Thursday were seventh-seeded Alizé Cornet, who defeated Donna Vekic, 6-3, 6-4, and fourth-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro, who defeated Sara Sorribes Tormo, 6-2, 6-0.
