The 28-year-old surprisingly won 6: 7 (4: 7), 6: 1, 6: 3 against the Russian Aslan Karatsev.
In the quarter-finals on Friday, the Cologne native will meet Italy's Fabio Fognini, who defeated Slovenia's Aljaz Bedene in straight sets. Otte is the only German player in Belgrade at the start.
With his entry into the round of eight, Otte will reach a new career high and will be the new German number 2 after Alexander Zverev from next week. In the current live ranking, he is 63rd.
World number one and local hero Novak Djokovic is the top favorite at the event, which is endowed with 597,900 euros.
