Top seed Mikhail Youzhny fought through a lengthy rain delay at the Suisse Open in Gstaad to defeat local wild card Alexander Sadecky 7-5 6-4 and move into the quarter-finals.
Five hours of play were lost due to the rain but there was still time for Kazakh qualifier Yuri Schukin to continue his surprise run at the expense of Portugal's Frederico Gil, whom he beat 6-3 6-3.
In the day's other two completed matches, second seed Nicolas Almagro edged past Swiss wild card Michael Lammer 3-6 6-3 6-2, while Frenchman Jeremy Chardy was a 7-5 6-2 winner over Jarkko Nieminen of Finland.
