Welp, our new #2 is Brian Meikeljohn, who just beat last year's finalist Balzer in straight sets. Mike Rhodes was a bit of a surprise as Chiba's QF opponent - and then crushed him 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Lost almost half his service points against a guy with an impotent baseline game. Rhodes's weird combo of big serving (4.5 is the best I've ever seen there) and being a clay specialist hasn't generally served him well over the years. It's working so far here though.
And Hart did fine, Perez out in the quarters in a routine but competitive result.
