Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime rallied past Portugal's Nuno Borges 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
Auger-Aliassime broke Borges late in the third set before sealing the win with his ninth ace.
The world No. 21 converted three of 10 break chances while saving four of six against him.
It was Auger-Aliassime's first career meeting with Borges, the world No. 38, on the ATP Tour.
Auger-Aliassime will next face Marin Cilic of Croatia, who defeated Australia's Alexei Popyrin 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.
The 24-year-old Canadian is chasing his third ATP title this season, having won last month in Adelaide, Australia, and Montpellier, France.

Wimbledon champ out of Indian Wells
Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova has withdrawn from next month's tournaments at Indian Wells and Miami due to a back injury that has kept her out of action since November.
The world No. 16, a surprise champion at the All England Club last year, sustained the injury during the Tour's Asian swing of tournaments and appeared hampered by it at the WTA Finals in Riyadh, where she reached the semi-finals.
The 29-year-old Czech skipped the Australian Open Grand Slam in January, saying she needed more time for her injury to heal.
Austria's Julia Grabher will take Krejcikova's place in the main draw at Indian Wells, which begins on March 5, organizers said. The Miami tournament starts March 18.

Don't believe players' cooked-up, ‘parroted' story, Crown says in closing arguments at Hockey Canada trial
LONDON, Ont.—In making her final pitch for convictions at the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial, a Crown attorney repeated the same words the prosecution used in its opening statement nearly eight weeks ago: 'This case may not look the way one anticipates a sexual assault to look.' The central issue in the case is whether the complainant, whose identity is covered by a standard publication ban, consented to sexual activity with Alex Formenton, Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Dillon Dubé and Cal Foote, all members of the 2018 Canadian world junior championship team, in a room at the Delta Armouries hotel in the early hours of June 19, 2018, when she was 20 years old.
