Jo-Wilfried Tsonga suffered a shock defeat by Luxembourg's Gilles Muller in the second round to see the fifth seed out of the competition.
Grigor Dimitrov came back from a set down against Julien Benneteau to progress to the quarter finals.
The Bulgarian gifted away an early break with a spate of double faults to give 35-year-old Benneteau the impetus.
But a superb lob followed by a Benneteau double-fault allowed Dimitrov to forge ahead in the second set and he was always in control thereafter, pulling off some crowd-pleasing diving volleys as he moved to victory.
"I started with three double-faults which is unlike me but I fought my way through the match and was composed," Dimitrov, who won the title in 2014, said.
Tomas Berdych was also given a testing workout against Canadian tyro Denis Shapovalov, who pushed the former Wimbledon finalist all the way before succumbing 7-6(4) 6-7(4) 7-5.
Shapovalov won junior Wimbledon last year and the 18-year-old showed his grasscourt potential against Berdych until the seventh-seeded Czech put away a rasping forehand on matchpoint to break for the first time.
