( CNN ) -- Andy Murray will play Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the Miami Masters after both men sailed through their last 16 matches . Murray , who won his second Miami title 12 months ago , beat France 's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga while Djokovic beat Tommy Robredo of Spain . The Scot , who recently parted company with coach Ivan Lendl , put in a commanding performance against the 11th seed winning 6-4 6-1 in 74 minutes . Earlier , Djokovic progressed with a straight sets 6-3 7-5 win . The Serb , who is seeking a fourth Miami title , needed just over 80 minutes to see off 16th seed Robredo hitting 19 winners and five aces . The No . 2 seed was ruthless when required , taking both his break point opportunities -- one in each set -- to seal the win and remain on course for back-to-back ATP Tour 1000 events after winning at Indian Wells earlier this month . `` ( It was a ) very solid win , '' said Djokovic . `` I made him play an extra shot in important moments and that 's why I 'm satisfied with the overall match today . '' Murray beat Djokovic in their previous meeting at last year 's Wimbledon final , but has since slumped to sixth in the rankings . He has a home in Miami , where he is based for much of his training . `` If you 're feeling a bit down , which I was a little bit when I got here , I also remember the amount of hours I put in on that tennis court out there and also in the gym , '' he said . `` This is where I have built most of my professional career from , so it makes a big difference coming back here . Mentally , I always feel pretty good here . '' Roger Federer is also safely through to the last eight after dispatching Richard Gasquet in straight sets 6-1 6-2 . But his compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka crashed out on Tuesday -- the latest victim of Ukraine 's Alexandr Dolgopolov , who won in three sets 6-4 3-6 6-1 . Federer will play Kei Nishikori in the quarters after the Japanese 20th seed overcame Spain 's David Ferrer in an epic three-setter 7-6 ( 9/7 ) 6-2 7-6 ( 11/9 ) . Nishikori raced into a 4-1 lead in the first before Ferrer clawed his way back into the set only to lose it on the tiebreak . But the Spanish fourth seed dominated the second before Nishikori won a grueling deciding set . Both players had match points in the tiebreak but it was Nishikori who eventually prevailed in three hours , seven minutes to send last year 's losing finalist crashing out . World No . 1 Rafael Nadal , seeking his first Miami title after three losing finals , romped into the last eight with a 6-2 6-2 win over Italian 14th seed Fabio Fognini . The Spaniard will next face big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic , who booked his place by after beating Benjamin Becker of Germany 6-3 6-4 . In the women 's draw , Maria Sharapova is through to the semifinal after trouncing fellow former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova 7-5 6-1 . Sharapova , a losing finalist in Miami five times , will next face world No . 1 Serena Williams -- the American trounced ninth-ranked German Angelique Kerber 6-2 6-2 . `` I felt much better today than in a few of my other matches here , '' said defending champion Williams , who has won a record six Miami titles . `` Knowing I was going to play a top-10 player , I knew I had to come out and play really well tonight . And I did play well . '' Williams has won 14 successive matches against former No . 1 Sharapova , including the semifinals in Brisbane in January . `` I love playing her , I really do -- does n't matter what surface or anything , '' the 32-year-old said . `` She 's one of my favorite people to play . It just gets you really pumped . '' Sharapova was also looking forward to the clash . `` It 's no secret that she 's been a big challenge of mine , an opponent that obviously I would love to beat , '' the Russian said . `` There are certainly ways I need to step up in certain situations I have n't been able to do in the past against her , but it 's great I have the opportunity to play her again .
