Stefanos Tsitsipas can do no wrong at the moment as he beat top seed Kevin Anderson at the Estoril Open.

Fresh from finishing runner-up to Rafael Nadal at the Barcelona Open, Tsitsipas claimed a come-from-behind victory over the South African, winning 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 6-3 in two hours and 13 minutes.

The Greek teenager produced a solid serving display as he wasn’t broken during the match, but he broke the big-serving Anderson once in the second set and twice in the decider.

The 19-year-old will face Roberto Carballes Baena after the Spaniard overcame Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 (7-1).

Second seed Pablo Carreno Busta also moved into the quarter-final with a 6-1, 7-5 win over Argentine Nicolas Kicker, and the Spaniard will face Nicolas Jarry, who beat Ricardo Ojeda Lara 6-3, 7-6 (8-6).
