Mardy Fish needed to come from a set down to see off Australia's Chris Guccione and reach the quarter-finals of the LA Open.
Guccione won the first set on a tiebreak but Fish levelled matters in the second set breaker and went on to win after an early break of serve in the final set put him on the way to a 6-7 7-6 6-4 success in two hours and 22 minutes.
Number two seed Fish will tackle Leonardo Mayer for a place in the semis, after the Argentinian knocked out fifth-seeded Russian Igor Kunitsyn of Russia 7-6 6-7 6-3.
Elsewhere in the second round, fourth seed Dudi Sela reached the last eight with a 6-4 3-6 6-1 win over American Robert Kendrick.
Next up for the Israeli is sixth seed Sam Querrey, who beat fellow American Ryan Sweeting 6-3 6-7 6-3.
