Argentine Pedro Cachin reached his first tour-level quarter-final of the season on Thursday at the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad, where he defeated top seed Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6(4), 7-6(3).
The 28-year-old rallied from a break down in the first set to earn his third Top 30 win of the year after two hours and 13 minutes. Cachin is into his first tour-level quarter-final since Cordoba in 2019 and will next meet Jaume Munar. The Spaniard defeated home favourite Stan Wawrinka 7-6(3), 6-1 to improve to 6-0 against Swiss players on Tour.
Earlier, Albert Ramos-Vinolas continued his impressive record against Lorenzo Sonego when he downed the World No. 42 Italian 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 to improve to 3-0 in the pair's Lexus ATP Head2Head series.
With his victory, the Spaniard earned his first win against a Top 50 opponent since October 2022, when he beat then-World No. 23 Lorenzo Musetti in Vienna. Ramos-Vinolas held a 0-6 record against Top 50 players prior to Thursday.
The 35-year-old has tasted success at the ATP 250 clay-court event before, winning the trophy in 2019 before he advanced to the semi-finals last year. He will meet Juan Pablo Varillas in the quarter-finals after the Peruvian defeated Argentine qualifier Facundo Bagnis 6-2, 6-1.
