Del Potro extends winning streak
Attempting to stay alive in the match, del Potro nearly suffered a freak injury when, racing to reach a Raonic passing shot, he leaped over a hoarding and into the photographer's pit at the side of the court.
The pair met in the Californian desert just three weeks ago with 2009 US Open champion del Potro winning 6-2, 6-3, but 25th-ranked Raonic was on his game from the off.
The Argentine fifth seed came through 5-7 7-6 (7-1) 7-6 (7-3), in a match that finished at midnight local time.
Raonic will meet the victor of fifth seed Juan Martin del Potro and 22nd seed Filip Krajinovic, who are in action on Tuesday afternoon.
The Argentine, who claimed the Indian Wells title earlier this month, fed off the energy of a raucous crowd, wearing down the 20th-seeded Canadian in a match lasting nearly three hours.
"I think we both enjoyed the game and the crowd, of course, are incredible, making a great atmosphere on court".

"I played extremely well and every match I have gotten better and stronger", Isner said.
"I am exhausted now, but at least I have a day off to prepare for Friday".
Isner, meanwhile, defeated rising prospect Hyeon Chung in a straight-set 6-1, 6-4 victory to advance to the semifinals, having previously upset world No. 3 Marin Cilic in the round of 16.
It was less good news for Isner's compatriot Venus Williams, though, who was stunned by American qualifier Danielle Collins.
The remaining quarter-finalists will play on Thursday with Alexander Zverev taking on Borna Coric and Pablo Carreno Busta taking on last year's US Open finalist Kevin Anderson. "I mean, I've idolized her my whole life". I would like to stay longer because it's a special tournament for me.
Windy conditions hampered the players all day and the former US Open champion took time to find his groove in his first meeting with world No. 27 Krajinovic.
