Novak Djokovic repelled a determined challenge from Spanish left-hander Feliciano Lopez as he continued the defence of his Dubai championships title with a three-set win on Wednesday.
Top seed Roger Federer had no such difficulties against Spaniard Marcel Granollers, winning 6-3 6-4 with a flurry of spectacular winners to reach the quarterfinals.
Second seed Djokovic won 6-3 2-6 6-4 but the outcome hung in the balance until the final few minutes as Lopez, who reached the final in 2004 and 2008, tormented Djokovic with a varied and aggressive game.
Serb Djokovic took the opening set with just one break of serve, leading 3-1
