Canadian Milos Raonic advanced to the semifinals at the Delray Beach Open on Friday with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Britain's Kyle Edmund.
The top seed from Thornhill, Ont., fired 10 aces to Edmund's four. The match took one hour 39 minutes to play.
Friday's quarter-final was the first time Raonic and Edmund had played each other.
Raonic will play Juan Martin del Potro in the semifinals, who defeated defending champion Sam Querrey 7-5, 7-5 in the late quarter-final match.
Jack Sock moved into the semifinals earlier in the day by beating Steve Johnson 6-4, 7-6 (4) in an all-American matchup.
Sock will play yet another American on Saturday for a berth in the final: Donald Young, who didn't even need to play a point to get there. Young's quarter-final opponent, Steve Darcis, withdrew from the tournament, citing personal reasons.
The third-seeded Sock has not dropped a set at the hard-court event as he seeks his second title of 2017, third of his career. Young has never won an ATP title. Sock is 2-0 against Young in previous meetings.
