LONDON, England (AP) — Sam Querrey reached his first semi-final since he went on to win the Los Angeles event in August 2010, defeating Ivan Dodig of Croatia 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 at Queen’s Club yesterday.

The American took the opening set after Dodig double-faulted to give Querrey a 6-5 lead. In the second set, a netted forehand at 4-3 earned Dodig the only break, and in the final set a forehand error at 3-2 left Querrey in charge.

Querrey will next face sixth-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia, who advanced 6-4, 2-0 when Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan retired due to groin pain.

Lu made the more positive start and led 2-0, but Cilic responded by winning 16 of the next 18 points to lead 4-2.

Cilic broke serve to lead 1-0 in the second set and won the last seven points of the match.

Lu had earlier upset third-seeded Janko Tipsarevic 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5) in a third-round match that was suspended overnight due to rain.

Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov reached his first career semifinal by upsetting ninth-seeded South African Kevin Anderson 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, closing out the match on his third match point.

David Nalbandian twice came from behind to reach the semi-finals, first overcoming Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 in a third-round match postponed on Thursday, and then beating Xavier Malisse of Belgium 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4.
