American John Isner upset second seed Marin Cilic 7-6 (7-0) 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals of the Miami Open.

Cilic, Croatia’s 2014 US Open champion, was the highest-ranked player left in the draw following Roger Federer’s shock loss to world number 175 Thanasi Kokkinakis.

“I am so happy to stay in and I am playing so well this year,” said 14th seed Isner, who faces Hyeon Chung next.

South Korea’s Chung beat Portugal’s Joao Sousa in straight sets.
