The British No 1 will face Ilya Ivashka for a place in the semi-final after the Belarusian beat Salvatore Caruso from Italy 6-3, 6-7 (8-10), 7-5.
Second seed Diego Schwartzman ended Cameron Norrie’s run as the Argentine secured a 7-6 (7-1), 6-7 (3-7), 7-5 win over the Brit in two hours and 33 minutes.
Meanwhile, Gael Monfils won the battle of the Frenchman as he beat compatriot and defending champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
