GSTAAD, Switzerland -- Seeded players Albert Montanes and Richard Gasquet have each rallied from a set down to win at the Swiss Open and will meet in the quarterfinals.

Fourth-seeded Montanes from Spain, who is seeking a third title on outdoor clay courts this season, beat Austrian qualifier Andreas Haider-Maurer 3-6, 6-1, 6-0.

No. 7 Gasquet from France held serve throughout his second-round match on Wednesday to beat Daniel Brands of Germany 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-0.

In a match between unseeded players, Spain's Daniel Gimeno-Traver had a 7-5, 6-4 win against Andreas Beck of Germany.

Andreev won the first set 6-3, wasted a match point in the second set tiebreaker and lost serve when leading 5-3 in the decider.
