Crowd favourite Juan-Pablo Brzezicki cannot stop smiling.

And yet again he was given good reason to be happy after advancing to the quarter-finals after an evening triumph in his fourth match of the tournament.

The qualifier survived a match point in his opening round against fourth seed Michal Tabara but had no such issues to deal with last night under the centre court lights, blowing away teenager Alex Kuznetsov 6-1, 6-1 in less than an hour.

The highly-anticipated clash began late due to over-running day session doubles but was still finished by 8.20 p.m, much to the disappointment of the crowd who wanted to see more of their new hero.

While on court, the charming and loveable Argentinian offered the full array of clever drops, accurate groundstrokes and awesome powers of recovery to keep the crowd smiling nearly as much as he was.

Kuznetsov appeared a little rigid and immobile and his orthodox, text-book play was no match for the flamboyant Brzezicki, who seemed to just fling his stocky, tanned body into every shot.

It was qualifier against wildcard with the relative veteran ? 24 as of Tuesday against 18 ? controlling the court and the rallies with style and authority.

From the first game, it was clear Brzezicki was going to be too much for the younger player at this stage of his career and the never-say-die approach from the South American produced some great early rallies and a comfortable 4-0 lead.

The Ukrainian-born American then broke back only to falter to 6-1.

In the second set, the Argentine whirled to new heights with the youngster?s resistance weakening with every passing shot.

Again he took a game at 4-0 ? this time on his own serve ? but the Argentine, who has shunned the tournament hotel for home-cooked food, was simply too good.

?I enjoy that, I was happy,? said Brzezicki after kissing his way through the crowd of adoring ladies for his post-match interview.

?The game was easier than last time. He was a little nervous at the beginning and I made the most of that.

?It was quite windy so we couldn?t play very good tennis but I think I play well and am happy to be in the next round.

?I like Bermuda very much, the crowd here is great, everyone is very nice to me and I enjoy playing here ? it makes me smile.?

The 24-year-old, whose birthday evening was spent eating an Argentinian-style barbecue, faces former doubles winner here Paul Goldstein tomorrow.

It should be an evenly matched contest between a qualifier in his fifth game and a main draw player who has had to cope with two three-setters.
