Garin Downs Schwartzman In Munich

Cristian Garin added a new chapter to the story of his breakthrough season at the BMW Open by FWU on Wednesday.

The Chilean defeated sixth seed Diego Schwartzman 6-1, 7-5 to advance to his third ATP Tour quarter-final of the season after 84 minutes. Garin converted six of 12 break points to overcome the Argentine and notch his 15th tour-level victory of the season (15-6).

The 22-year-old has already contested two ATP Tour championship matches on clay this season, picking up his maiden tour-level trophy in Houston (d. Ruud) last month after a runner-up finish at the Brasil Open in March (l. to Pella). Garin will meet two-time defending champion Alexander Zverev or Cordoba Open titlist Juan Ignacio Londero for a place in the semi-finals.
