Cameron Norrie returned to action with victory over Russia's Aslan Karatsev in the last 16 of the Stockholm Open.
The 27-year-old is battling to qualify for the season-ending ATP Finals.
Dan Evans, Norrie's Davis Cup team-mate, beat France's Constant Lestienne 6-2 6-1 to reach the last eight of the European Open in Antwerp.
Norrie committed to playing five tournaments in six weeks in a "big push" to break into the world's top seven to qualify for the ATP Finals, which take place in Turin, Italy, in November.
But those plans were derailed when the world number 12 pulled out of the Korea Open less than an hour before his quarter-final against the United States' Jenson Brooksby.
