    Top-seeded Mikhail Youzhny advanced to the Swiss Open quarterfinals on Thursday, beating wild card Alexander Sadecky of Switzerland in straight

    he 14th-ranked Russian won the second-round match 7-5, 6-4, ending No. 437-ranked Sadecky's first tour event. Youzhny next faces No. 147-ranked Yuri Schukin from Kazakhstan, a qualifier who has reached his first quarterfinal match on tour at age 31.

    Schukin defeated Portugal's Frederico Gil 6-3, 6-3 on a rainy day on Gstaad's clay courts.

    Another Russian, Igor Andreev, completed a second-round victory over Switzerland's Marco Chiudinelli, 6-3, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (6). The match had been suspended late Wednesday with just the decisive tiebreak to play.
