Sock will face fourth-seeded countryman Steve Johnson, a 6-2 6-4 winner over fifth-seeded Fernando Verdasco of Spain.

Johnson won his lone tour title last year on grass at Nottingham in England.

Ernesto Escobedo reached his first ATP Tour semi, outlasting second-seeded John Isner 7-6 (6) 6-7 (6) 7-6 (5) in an all-American match.
