The 16th seed, who produced 30 winners and 27 unforced errors, took 53 minutes to win the opening set, before rattling through sets two and three in 54 minutes.

Nishikori is now just one win away from equalling his best ever run in Melbourne - a quarter-final appearance in 2008.

However, that might prove to be difficult because his opponent in round four is likely to be world number one Rafael Nadal, who is currently two sets up against Gael Monfils.
