Top-seeded home favorite Alexander Zverev moved into the BOSS Open quarterfinals with a 6-2, 7-6 (7) win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet on Thursday in Stuttgart, Germany.

Zverev saved a set point trailing 6-5 in the tiebreak before moving on to face No. 6 seed Brandon Nakashima, who never faced a break point in a 7-6 (5), 6-3 defeat of fellow American Learner Tien.

Zverev's countryman, 17-year-old Justin Engel, joined him in the final eight with a 6-4, 6-4 win against No. 7 seed Alex Michelsen. Engel, competing in his first tour-level event on grass, will next face fourth-seeded Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime. The two-time Stuttgart finalist defeated France's Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-4, 6-4.
