Jack Draper eased through to the Madrid Open quarter-finals with a straight-sets win over American Tommy Paul.

The British No 1 and fifth seed beat his 11th-seeded opponent 6-2 6-2 and will now meet Italy's Matteo Arnaldi in the last eight, live on Sky Sports Tennis on Thursday.

Draper broke Paul to go 2-1 up in the first set before reeling off three straight games from 3-2 to take command of the match.

The 23-year-old sought to follow suit when he set up a break point in the third game of the second set, only for Paul to claw his way back to deuce before clinching the next two points to seal the hold.
