The Greek broke twice in each set to set up a last-eight encounter against Open Sud de France runner-up Vasek Pospisil, who defeated eighth seed Hubert Hurkacz 6-3, 6-4.
Rotterdam runner-up Auger-Aliassime was made to work for his win as the Canadian came from a set down and saved two match points in the second-set tie-breaker to defeat Stefano Travaglia from Italy 6-7 (3-7), 7-6 (8-6), 6-3.
Next up is Pierre-Hugues Herbert after the Frenchman beat Mikhail Kukushkin 7-6 (7-4), 6-4.
