Marrakech, Morocco
Chris O'Connell is enjoying a career-best run at a tour-level clay-court event.
The 28-year-old Australian knocked out world No.31 Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands in the second round at an ATP 250 tournament in Marrakech.
O'Connell posted a 6-7(8) 6-4 6-0 victory against the third seed. It is his eighth career top-50 win - and the biggest of his career on clay.
World No.87 O'Connell proved clutch under pressure, saving nine of the 12 break points he faced in the two-hour and 41-minute battle.
O'Connell now faces Pavel Kotov, a 24-year-old Russian ranked No.114, in the quarterfinals.
This is O'Connell's fourth career ATP quarterfinal appearance - and first on clay.
He is the last Australian hope standing at the tournament, after Brit Dan Evans scored a 6-1 6-3 victory against Alexei Popyrin in their second-round clash.
