Defending champion Juan Ignacio Londero returned to the quarterfinals in Cordoba on Thursday, and the World No.50 seems intent on replicating last year's victory.

The Argentine, having won the inaugural edition of the Cordoba Open as a wild card entrant last year, is seeded eighth this year. He defeated countryman Pedro Cachin 6-3 6-3 in an hour and 25 minutes to book his spot in the quarterfinals.
Londero next faces fourth seed Laslo Djere, as the Serbian defeated Spanish qualifier Pedro Martinez 6-3 6-4.
“The next match against Djere will be difficult, but I go game-by-game, point-by-point. I only think about the next one, to prepare well and be recovered,” Londero said after the match.
Spain's Albert Ramos-Vinolas navigated a tough victory against compatriot Pablo Andujar 6-3 6-7(4) 6-4 after three hours and 20 minutes.
With both men tied at 4-4 in the final set, the match was interrupted by a 20-minute rain delay. This seemed to rob Andujar of any momentum he may have had, as he was immediately broken once play resumed. Ramos-Vinolas would then serve out the match.
The fifth seed will face top seed Diego Schwartzman, who dispatched of unseeded Spaniard Jaume Munar 6-1 7-5. Schwartzman leads their head to head series 4-0, so Ramos-Vinolas will need to adopt a different approach if he hopes to overcome the home favorite.
