HOUSTON, April 7 (UPI) -- Mardy Fish continued his recent form of good play Thursday by reaching the quarterfinals of the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship.
The top-seeded Fish defeated Albert Ramos 6-3, 6-4 and moved closer to what would be his fourth semifinal appearance in his last five tournaments.
Kei Nishikori set up a quarterfinal meeting with Fish by downing Igor Andreev 6-3, 6-3.
Seventh-seeded Pablo Cuevas ousted James Blake in a second-round match 7-5, 6-1 and No. 3 seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez was a 6-4, 6-1 winner over Somdev Devvarman.
Garcia-Lopez will take on Devvarman in the quarterfinals.
