Australian Matosevic reaches Sydney International quarters

Australian Marinko Matosevic continued his good form at the Apia International Sydney 2014, ousting third seed Italian Andreas Seppi in the second round Wednesday.

The World No.56 recorded a straight set win over the 25th-ranked Seppi 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals, reports Xinhua.

Matosevic will now play Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky, who beat French sixth seed Julien Benneteau 6-3, 6-2.

"To get a win over Andreas is a big confidence booster," Matosevic told reporters following his victory.

"I'm trying to get my serve better and play tennis on my terms," he said.
