Sandhu broke serve four times and saved the only break point against him. He meets the fourth seed on Saturday.

Sandhu hit 29 winners to the qualifier's nine and served at 71 percent. The only wobble came at 5-2 in the second set, when he was broken after a double fault.

He plays the fourth seed, a left-hander who beat him in their only meeting two years ago. "I'm a different player now," he said.
