Dominic Thiem maintained his perfect record at the Argentina Open to reach the quarterfinals, while David Ferrer was edged on Thursday.
Thiem, a two-time champion in Buenos Aires, was too good for German Maximilian Marterer 6-4 6-4 in the second round.
The top seed is now 10-0 at the ATP 250 event, which he won in 2016 and last year but skipped in 2017.
Thiem will face Pablo Cuevas in the last eight after the Uruguayan overcame fifth seed Joao Sousa 6-4 7-5.
