    *Nakashima 1-1 Draper

    Another break point for Draper as he survives a tricky rally before hitting an overhead smash for advantage.

    Nakashima's big serve save it, but Draper has break point again with a fine volley at the net.

    Can he seal it this time?

    *Nakashima 1-1 Draper

    Draper prevents Nakashima from sealing the hold a couple of times and still this tussle in just the third game continues.

    It's very loose service motion from Nakashima. It doesn't look like he hits it hard but he does hit it regularly.

    *Nakashima 1-1 Draper

    But Nakashima saves it as Draper sends a looping forehand wide. Deuce.

    *Nakashima 1-1 Draper

    But a double fault by Nakashima and Draper has break point...

    *Nakashima 1-1 Draper

    Draper seems to have quickly found a way to handle Nakashima's serve and the British number one takes the first two points of this game.

    However, Nakashima then hammers down an ace before Draper fails to return his next serve and it is 30-30.

    Nakashima 1-1 Draper*

    Strong start by Draper as he rattles off a couple of aces, setting himself on the way to a love hold.

    A very good opening service game for the Californian.

    Nakashima 1-0 Draper

    But Nakashima gets the job done, serving so well even Draper compliments him on it.

    *Nakashima 0-0 Draper

    That gets the crowd going. The two engage in a lengthy rally before Draper's groundstroke is too much for Nakashima and that gets the Brit on the board in this first game.

    *Nakashima 0-0 Draper

    Here we go then. The last British player standing at Queen's is facing Nakashima's serve first.

    Nakashima v Draper

    It won't be at the forefront of his mind but win this and Jack Draper will be the fourth seed at Wimbledon.

    That would mean he'd avoid defending champion Carlos Alcaraz or world number one Jannik Sinner until at least the semi-finals.

    Nakashima v Draper

    The last British semi-finalist at Queen's? That was Cam Norrie in 2021.

    But Jack Draper could be about to end the drought.

  14. Postpublished at 13:40 British Summer Time

    That's right (or wrong - I don't know your guesses), former world number one and coach of Andy Murray, Ivan Lendl (1983, 1989 and 1990) and 2006 Wimbledon quarter-finalist Radek Stepanek (2005 and 2014) are the two other Czechs to reach the last four at Queen's.

    Lendl won this event in '89 and '90.

    By the way, Jiri Lehecka is just the third Czech man to reach the semi-finals at Queen's in the open era.

    Fancy guessing the other two?

    In his own-court interview, Jiri Lehecka says it's nice to get 100 tour wins, but adds when some players have over 1,000 it's "almost demotivating".

    "Let's just keep going" he says, rather diplomatically.

    Lehecka 7-5 6-2 Fearnley

    Jacob Fearnley gets a brilliant reception as he leaves the court. A lot of lessons learned from his first ATP quarter-final.

    He'll had off to Eastbourne next week.

    That's a milestone for Lehecka. We have seen much of Jacob Fearnley this week but the day belongs to Lehecka.
