The former world number six and former Wimbledon finalist has slipped outside the top-100 after prolonged injury struggles and is playing at Roland Garros for the first time in five years.
His compatriot and 10th seed Flavio Cobolli beat American Zachary Svajda in four sets while fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, the highest-ranked player in his side of the draw, beat Alejandro Tabilo in three.
In the women's draw, Anna Kalinskaya beat Anastasia Potapova in a deciding-set tie-break to reach the last eight, while Diana Shnaider - who bageled Madison Keys in the third set - and Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska (bt Diane Parry) are also through.
Elsewhere, Great Britain's Henry Patten and Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara are through to the quarter-finals of the men's doubles, having beaten Andre Goransson and Evan King 6-3 6-4 in their third-round match.

I am not sure that we want to be leaving at 00:30 or 01:00 when the trains have stopped, then we have got to get an Uber. Who is defining this? That is the bit for me.
You can't stop and do a survey of every single person who walks through the doors of a Grand Slam. All I can talk about is my point of view as a tennis fan coming and watching a match like that. A box-office match. High, high quality. It finishes at a reasonable time to get out of here.
Tiafoe 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (7-5) Arnaldi
Image source, EPAOver on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, there's an epic match bubbling away nicely as Frances Tiafoe has drawn level with Matteo Arnaldi after a gruelling second set.
There were three successive breaks midway through the set, with American Tiafoe striking either side of Italy's Arnaldi to lead 4-3.
Arnaldi then saved three set points to hold at 5-4 down before breaking back at 5-5 to force a tie-break, which Tiafoe found a way through.
Both players looked drained after an 83-minute set and there's still plenty more action to come!

The way I describe it is, you shouldn't pay more money to go to the cinema to watch Lord of the Rings compared to Dumb and Dumber.
Dumb and Dumber is one hour and 40 minutes.
Lord of the Rings is three and a half hours.
I don't like us defining entertaining on time. We have to be careful about doing that. How often do you come out here and watch a match, and it has a lot of lulls, and it doesn't quite happen?
My tennis eyes didn't want to leave this tonight.

"Not the best service game I have played in my life, but in this tournament, for sure. I felt like I am getting better with every match I am playing. Super pleased overall with the performance today."
On her team in the box: "I feel like they have all gone. I have a lot of people, a lot of friends that are coming to watch me play. Let's start with the important one, the fiance with a smile.
"Then I have two coaches. Then I have my hitting partner, physio, fitness coach, manager, agents, then I have my friends who came all the way from LA. They're my lucky charm. There are so many people cheering me on. That's the best."

"She is such a great player and always a tough battle against her. Super-aggressive tennis. I am mostly happy with the way I served, and that I was able to put that pressure back on her.
"Happy with the win, it was a very tough one. Wow - it is amazing to play in the night session in front of you all. My first one and I really want to keep going. Thank you for bringing such an amazing atmosphere. You guys make this place special."

Business like. Everyone knows Aryna Sabalenka is the queen of the court. That is the way I would describe that performance.
The match was one hour and 27 minutes. It felt like Sabalenka could do it for another one hour and 27 minutes.
Sabalenka 7-5 6-3 Osaka
Aryna Sabalenka is a four-time Grand Slam champion but she's still searching for her first French Open crown after losing in last year's final.
She's the only of the top five seeds still standing and the only one of the eight quarter-finalists with experience of playing in a major final.
Up next for a grinning Sabalenka... 25th seed Diana Shnaider.

Image source, ReutersBoom. Take that. Aryna Sabalenka smacks a forehand winner to cruise into the quarter-finals at the French Open for the fourth year in a row.
She's yet to drop a set at the tournament this year.

Aryna Sabalenka returns a couple of serves down the centre of the court, cramping Naomi Osaka for room, and takes a 15-30 lead.
The pressure tells. Double fault.
Two match points.

Naomi Osaka is showing the first sign of body language, hitting the clay off the shoe in an angry manner. Now is the time when she has got to dig in.
Again, Sabalenka with her second serve went out wide into the forehand and opened up the court beautifully. She is showing that ability to spread the court.

Aryna Sabalenka opens the game with a drop-shot winner and finishes it with an ace. Textbook.
Hold to 15. Thank you, next.

You have got to give yourself some time when you have made a couple of errors.
This is exactly what we saw in the first set. Both are playing great tennis, but Aryna Sabalenka just has that little edge.
One is the ability to be relentless. The second one is the variation that Sabalenka is adding to her game.
*Sabalenka 7-5 4-3 Osaka
Aryna Sabalenka makes the breakthrough and it's thoroughly deserved. You can guess how she did, can't you? The drop shot! Even at full sprint, it's out of Naomi Osaka's reach.

A couple of loose backhands from Naomi Osaka and suddenly she's facing two break points.

Aryna Sabalenka is good at slamming that door shut. Every time Naomi Osaka edges it - boom, the door gets shut.
Sabalenka is definitely targeting Naomi's forehand in the bigger moments of this match.

At advantage, Aryna Sabalenka's drop shot comes up crunch. It's a gorgeous shot. She's done it so well time and time again.
