David Goffin has upset Stan Wawrinka to reach the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells Masters, ending the Belgian’s 14-match skid against top 10-ranked opponents.

World No.18 Goffin won 6-3 5-7 7-6 (5) and faces Marin Cilic who beat Richard Gasquet 7-5 5-7 6-2 on Wednesday.

He saved two match points to beat wild card Frances Tiafoe in the second round and then rallied from a set down to outlast Guido Pella in the third round.
