LONDON (AP) _ Andy Roddick remained on course for a record fifth title at Queen's Club after he defeated seventh-seeded Fernando Verdasco 6-2, 6-2 to reach the semifinals on Friday.

Defending champion Sam Querrey was upset by James Ward of Britain 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, and second-seeded Andy Murray received a walkover into the semifinals when eighth-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia withdrew with an ankle injury.

Querrey's defeat came after his third-round match was suspended overnight at one-set all. When play resumed, the 216th-ranked Ward earned the only break of the third set to lead 4-3, and fought off a break point as he served out the match.

Later Friday, top-seeded Rafael Nadal faced fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Ward played Adrian Mannarino.
