second year.
Fifth seed Sebastien Grosjean moved into the semifinals of the Stella Artois Championships for the second consecutive year after defeating Czech Radek Stepanek 6-3, 6-3.
Grosjean, who went on to reach the final 12 months ago before losing to Andy Roddick, is yet to drop a set so far this week. The Frenchman is now through to his first semifinal on the ATP circuit since Tokyo last year.
He will now meet Korean qualifier Hyung-Taik Lee, who reached
his first semifinal since he captured his first ATP title
in Sydney as a qualifier in January 2003.
Lee became the first qualifier to reach the semifinals at
The Queen's Club since Laurence Tieleman in 1998 with a
6-3, 6-4 win over Slovakia's Karol Beck in just under an
hour on Centre Court.
This will be the first meeting between the two. Grosjean
will be attempting to reach his 11th career final while
Lee will be looking to reach his third (2001 Houston, 2003
Sydney).
