After a long back and forth in the first set, many unnecessary mistakes and shaking his head in the direction of the trainer's box, Francisco Cerundolo won the match against Alexander Shevchenko 6:3, 6:2. The Argentinian mainly struggled with his first serve: but when it came, he won the point almost every time. He also fended off a number of break chances from his opponent and impressed with his return. The world number 22 will face David Goffin on Friday, who was successful in three sets (0:6, 7:5, 6:1) against Mariano Navone. The chances are good for the 26-year-old "Struff conqueror" - he is already playing his sixth quarter-final this year.
