Argentina's Diego Schwartzman knocked out Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 from the Sydney International men's singles quarterfinals on Thursday.
The third-seeded 26-year-old Argentine defeated Nishioka in a tense three-setter, reports Efe news.
Schwartzman won the opening set 6-1, with Nishioka making a big comeback in the second set, taking it 6-3.
The Argentine, who played his first match of the tournament on Wednesday, defeating Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-2, 6-3, took the third set 7-6 after a tie-break.
Nishioka had knocked out Andrey Rublev in straight sets to make it to the quarterfinals.
