Stan Wawrinka dug deep to defeat Donald Young 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 to return to the quarter-finals of the Swiss Indoors for the first time in five years.
The top seed in the absence of Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal was put through his paces over three sets by American qualifier Young, with the Swiss emerging as winner thanks to 16 aces.
