The No. 19 seed was forced to take a lengthy medical timeout at 4-6 in the opening game after suffering a lower body injury, but she was able to recover and eventually secure a comeback win.

This is Truluck's third three-game victory of the week after doing the same against Meghan Dizon on Tuesday and Dominique Schaefer on Wednesday.

She will face either Parris Todd or Helena Jansen in the quarterfinals.

11:35am ET: Devilliers continues run, surges past Tardio in straight games

Jay Devilliers continued his strong singles showing in the Georgia capital on Thursday morning with an 11-9, 11-3 victory over No. 11 seed Gabe Tardio.

The No. 35 seed was fresh off a three-game triumph over No. 5 seed Jaume Martinez Vich in the Round of 32, and it looks like he certainly carried that momentum with him into the next round.

Devilliers will face either No. 3 seed Connor Garnett or No. 16 seed Pablo Tellez on Friday.

After playing a three-game epic on Wednesday, Christian Alshon made quick work of his men's singles opponent on Thursday, defeating No. 22 seed Adam Harvey 11-0, 11-3 in just over half an hour.

The No. 7 seed put on a master class in kitchen line coverage, as he effectively anticipated Harvey's passing shots and used his six-foot-two frame to stick his volleys.

Alshon will face either Ben Johns or Mohaned Alhouni in Friday's quarterfinal round.

10:50am ET: Jansen outlasts Di Laura in three games

Lea Jansen is into the women's singles quarterfinals in Atlanta after a 10-12, 11-4, 11-1 victory over No. 44 seed Felicity Di Laura.

It looked like the No. 6 seed would cruise to a win when she got up 9-2 in the first game, but Di Laura—who made a career-best run this week—stormed back to take it.

Not deterred, Jansen comfortably took the next two games to advance.

She will face No. 2 seed Kate Fahey on Friday.
