British number five Arthur Ferry recorded the “best result” of his career as he beat Adrian Mannarino to keep his home hopes alive at the HSBC Championship in Queens.
The world number 140 reached his first ATP Tour quarter-final with a 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 win over the experienced Frenchman.
The 23-year-old wildcard needed treatment for a nosebleed early in the second set but was focused on winning at the Andy Murray Arena.
Ferri was ranked 461 when he defeated 20th seed Alexei Popyrin on the opening day of last year’s Wimbledon, but he said his win over Mannarino was better.
“It’s special to play in London, where I grew up and in front of all these British tennis fans,” the British number five told BBC Sport.
“It’s the best result of my career so far. It wasn’t easy, there were a lot of ups and downs so I’m happy to get through.”
Cameron Norrie was the last Briton to leave the singles after losing to fourth seed Alejandro Davidovic Fokina on Tuesday.
Asked about the nosebleeds, Ferry said: “It happens to me often. I’m used to it.
“I don’t really know why it happens. Maybe nerves. Sometimes fatigue, heat. I don’t know. It happens here and there.”
Ferri, who knocked out fellow Briton Toby Samuel in the first round, will face seventh seed Francisco Cerundlo on Friday after the Argentine beat American Jenson Brooksby in straight sets.
