At 5-foot-9 (1.75 meters), David Ferrer is on the short side for a tennis player, but he stands very tall on clay.
The French Open runner-up in 2013 breezed past U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic (6-foot-6; 1.98 meters) 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals at Roland Garros.
Coming into their fourth-round match, Cilic had been broken just once in 40 service games.
Ferrer ruined that, breaking the Croat five of the 13 times he served.
Ferrer, seeded seventh, next plays either Andy Murray, seeded third, or unseeded Frenchman Jeremy Chardy.
