Haas, in action for the first time since losing to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon semifinals, recorded a 6-1, 6-3 victory that set up a quarterfinal match against eighth-seeded Marat Safin. Haas is seeking his second tournament title of the year.
Sam Querrey also made it into the quarterfinals with a grueling victory over Ryan Sweeting.
Querrey advanced 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3 and will next take on Dudi Sela, who eliminated Robert Zkendrick 6-4, 3-6, 6-1.
