STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Favourites David Ferrer and Milos Raonic got past first-time opponents to reach the Stockholm Open quarterfinals Thursday. Top-seeded Ferrer made the last eight in Stockholm at his third attempt when he overcame Jack Sock of the United States 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. Raonic, the second-seed from Thornhill, Ont., was hard-pressed to finish off Joachim Johansson of Sweden, who came out of retirement at 31 and qualified for his first pro main draw in 2 1/2 years. Raonic won 6-2, 7-6 (3). No. 5 Ernests Gulbis of Latvia and No. 7 Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria also won, but No. 4 Kevin Anderson of South Africa and three-time finalist Jarkko Nieminen of Finland lost their second-round matches.
