Diego Schwartzman completed a remarkable turnaround on Wednesday at the Coupe Rogers to reach his second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 quarter-final of the season.
Schwartzman lost the first eight games of the pair’s second meeting to beat his former training partner in South America, #NextGenATP American Jared Donaldson, 0-6, 7-5, 7-5 in two hours and eight minutes. Donaldson won their Aegon International first-round match 7-6(5), 3-6, 7-5 in June.
The 24-year-old Schwartzman, now 24-19 on the season, will next face Dutchman Robin Haase, who saved eight of 10 break points against seventh seed Grigor Dimitrov to advance 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-1 in two hours and nine minutes.

Haase also hit 13 aces and won 77 per cent of his first-serve points to beat Dimitrov for the first time in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series. Haase reaches his second Masters 1000 quarter-final. He fell to then-World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the 2012 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters quarter-finals.
Schwartzman, who reached the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters quarters (l. to Nadal) in April, has never made the final four at Masters 1000 event. He'll try turn around an 0-4 record against Haase in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series.
Go Go Diego!
