It involved Erik Manske winning a three set battle against Anton Vilinskiy. Frank Italiano also went on to out hit Pete Oh in a match of three sets. Patrick Thomas, who was bounced out of the main draw managed to outlast Adam Gleichenhaus with a three set in the other quarterfinals action, 7 - 6, 9 - 7 and 6 - 2.
