Luke Saville has cruised through to the quarterfinals of the boys’ singles event at Roland Garros after a straight set win over Italian world No.38 Matteo Donati in Paris on Tuesday.
Saville, now the only Australian left in the junior tournament after Andrew Harris, Nick Kyrgios and Jordan Thompson all fell in the second round, will take on Czech 11th seed Adam Pavlasek in the last eight.
The top seed wrapped up the 6-4 6-3 win over Donati in one hour and 22 minutes on Court 3 at Roland Garros, and was statistically superior in every department. He will enjoy a day of rest from singles play before taking on Pavlasek on Wednesday, who arrived at the quarterfinal stage following a straight-set win over American Spencer Papa.
Saville currently holds the junior Wimbledon and Australian Open titles.
