Top seed Rafael Nadal continued his bid for a first Shanghai Masters title by seeing off Italy's Fabio Fognini in an impressive last-16 victory.
The world number one, 31, won 6-3 6-1 in little over an hour to set up a quarter-final against Grigor Dimitrov.
Second seed Roger Federer progressed with a 6-4 6-2 win over unseeded Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov.
Marin Cilic is also through after a win against Steve Johnson, while Juan Martin del Potro beat Alexander Zverev.
Spain's Nadal has enjoyed a remarkable year as two Grand Slam crowns, and four other Tour titles, have lifted him to the top of the rankings for the first time since 2014.
Now the 16-time Grand Slam champion is aiming to continue a stellar 2017 with a maiden victory in Shanghai.
