No. 1 seed Ben Shelton dropped the first set against No. 7 seed Sebastian Baez of Argentina before rain halted play Thursday in the ASB Classic quarterfinals in Auckland, New Zealand.
Baez broke Shelton's serve three times and held a 7-5, 0-1 lead when the action was suspended. The winner meets Marcos Giron in the semifinals.
Giron won the only completed match of the day, converting five of 10 break points and rallying for a 1-6, 7-5, 6-4 defeat of fourth-seeded Luciano Darderi of Italy in two hours and 36 minutes.
