The Italian has slumped to 98 in the rankings from a high of 30 in 2015 and arrived in Switzerland without a tour-level win since January.

But it was Giorgi who proved stronger in the end against world number 23 Suarez Navarro, winning 2-6 7-6 (7/5) 6-2 to set up a last-eight meeting with Aliaksandra Sasnovich.
