Italian Fabio Fognini is the latest seeded player to crash out of the ASB Classic, going down 6-3, 6-1 to German Phillipp Kohlschreiber in their men's quarter-final in Auckland today.

The world number 13 - and second seed at the ASB Classic - was sent packing in straight sets, with his match against Kohlschreiber only lasting 65 minutes.

Fourth seed Pablo Carreno-Busta is the only seed left in the tournament. He'll play Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff later tonight.

Kohlschreiber will take on American Tennys Sandgren in tomorrow's semi-final.
