Fourth seed Juan Martin del Potro beat Indian Somdev Devvarman 6-4, 6-4 then played a few points with football legend Diego Maradona, much to the delight of the crowd. Yesterday, del Potro saved three match points against Marcos Baghdatis in his opening match.
"I played better than yesterday. I was solid with my serve, and I didn't make many mistakes with my backhand. When we had rallies on the baseline, I played solid. I didn't lose my serve during the match. That gives me confidence for my next match tomorrow."
Seventh-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi reached the last eight after a 6-4, 7-6(4) victory over Lukas Rosol. German qualifier Daniel Brands overcame eighth-seeded Russian and two-time finalist Mikhail Youzhny, making his 13th appearance at the event, 6-4, 6-4 in 64 minutes.
