Jack Draper reached the semifinals at Queen's for the first time in his career after a hard-fought 4-6 7-5 4-6 win over United States' Brandon Nakashima.

The win sees Draper rise to No. 4 in the world ranking and means he will have a top four seeding at Wimbledon.

"The support I've received this week has been amazing. I am used to battling on the grass but to be in the semi-final here is something I've wanted since I was a kid, so it means everything to me," Draper told BBC post-match.

"I think at times I've not played some great tennis and in those moments I've just tried to believe in myself and I think that is where the confidence has come from."

The British No. 1 will face Jiri Lehecka in the semfinals tomorrow.

British No.2 Jacob Fearnley was knocked out of Queen's Club at the quarterfinal stage on Thursday after going down 7-5, 6-2 to Czech Lehecka.

Fearnley started well under the sun in west London before struggling on the serve in a performance that fell away into a series of double faults, including six in the games where Lehecka broke his serve.

After coming back from 3-1 down in the first set, Lehecka grew into the match and continued his momentum into the second set where another double break secured his 100th ATP tour win and a semifinal against Draper.
