The Canadian, who got a bye in the first round, is playing his first grass event of the season after bowing out of the French Open in the opening round.

Auger-Aliassime will face world No. 32 Ugo Humbert of France in the quarterfinals.

Top seed Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., had his second-round match against Spain’s Feliciano Lopez suspended because of rain.

They’ll play a third set Friday after splitting the first two.
