Wimbledon semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov and French showman Gael Monfils enjoyed easy victories at the Madrid Masters on Tuesday.

Tenth seed Dimitrov was 6-4 3-0 ahead when American opponent Donald Young quit with an injury and he will next face Fabio Fognini in a mouth-watering contest.

Last year's French Open quarter-finalist Monfils dropped only two games against Serbian Viktor Troicki.

Fifth-seeded Milos Raonic hammered down nine aces and broke Argentine player Juan Monaco's serve twice to win 6-3 6-4.

Fernando Verdasco, who lives in Madrid, beat fellow Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 4-6 6-2 6-3.

Philipp Kohlschreiber set up a re-match of the Munich Open final against Andy Murray after easing past Alejandro Falla from Colombia, 6-1 6-4.
