A day of high-drama ended in the late evening chill with 17-time grand slam winner Roger Federer out-lasting big hitting Croatian Marin Cilic 7-6, 6-7, 6-4.
Federer, who turned 33 on Thursday, was the only one of the top seeds to survive a day of upsets, and now meets David Ferrer in the quarter-finals.
“It is nice winning those kind of matches, I’ve also lost a bunch in my career especially this season,” said Federer, who had looked poised to join the exodus of seeds after squandering six match points in the second set.
“I had 23 break points against Tsonga in Monaco, that’s worse. So from that standpoint I’ve been there before.
“All six match points were on my own serve and it wasn’t like I didn’t have a chance so that was good in a way but also frustrating.”
Fourth seeded Czech Tomas Berdych’s Canadian visit also came to an end with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 defeat to veteran Spaniard Feliciano Lopez.
Sixth seed Milos Raonic, the last Canadian standing, kept hopes of a home grown winner alive, riding the support of a boisterous crowd to a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory over Frenchman Julien Benneteau.
