(Reuters) -Twice champion Iga Swiatek thrashed Czech Karolina Muchova 6-1 6-1 to reach the Indian Wells quarter-finals on Tuesday before men's fifth seed Daniil Medvedev moved into the last eight with a 6-4 6-0 win over American Tommy Paul.

Daniil Medvedev advanced to the Indian Wells quarterfinals by defeating Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-0. The match experienced multiple rain delays and finished almost four hours later than scheduled. Medvedev capitalized on Paul's numerous unforced errors to claim victory.

After reaching the semifinals last year, a win on Tuesday would've made Paul just the sixth American to reach back-to-back Indian Wells quarterfinals this century. The five who've done that include Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Andy Roddick, James Blake and Taylor Fritz.

Daniil Medvedev overcame a first-set comeback from Tommy Paul to secure a 6-4, 6-0 victory and advance at Indian Wells.

Iga Swiatek, comfortable as usual at the BNP Paribas Open, cruised into the quarterfinals with a victory on Tuesday in Indian Wells, Calif. The second-seeded Polish player routed 15th-seeded Karolina Muchova 6-1,
