Ruud served six aces and saved five of eight
break points in order to advance. In the quarterfinals he will
face eighth seed Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands, who
was a 6-2, 6-3 winner over Belarusian Egor Gerasimov.
Third seed Reilly Opelka wasn't as fortunate as Ruud. Germany's
Oscar Otte upset the American in straight sets, 7-6 (4), 6-2.
Otte overcame Oeplka's 10 aces by winning 32 of his 35
first-service points (91.4 percent).
Otte will face Chile's Alejandro Tabilo in the quarters. Tabilo
was ahead 6-2, 2-6, 4-1 when Frenchman Hugo Gaston retired.
Millennium Estoril Open
No. 1 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime rallied for a 1-6, 6-2, 6-2 win
over Spanish lucky loser Carlos Taberner in the second round in
Estoril, Portugal.
After Taberner won six straight games to secure the first set,
the Canadian responded by taking the first five games of the
second set and remained in control from there.
Auger-Aliassime will meet American eighth seed Sebastian Korda
in the quarterfinals. Korda handled Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi
6-3, 6-3.
Argentina's Sebastian Baez won a see-saw affair with Croatian
third seed Marin Cilic, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, despite Cilic's nine
aces. Baez will meet France's Richard Gasquet, who took down
Bolivian qualifier Hugo Dellien 7-6 (5), 6-2.
