“It’s going to be a tough one,” Roddick said.
Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Britain’s Andy Murray also reached the quarter-finals.
Djokovic advanced with a 6-3, 7-6 (3) victory over Fabrice Santoro of France, who won their last match at the Paris Masters.
“I started losing my hair in the second set,” Djokovic said. “But it was OK, you know, to play such a magician with a racket. He’s a very special player and for me it was an honour to play again against him.”
