Teenager Felix Auger-Aliassime became the youngest Queen's semi-finalist since Lleyton Hewitt in 1999 when he shocked top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The 18-year-old Canadian had played two full matches on Thursday, including a taxing three-setter against Nick Kyrgios.

But he showed no ill-effects, with a run of five games in a row at the end of the first set and the beginning of the second proving the difference in a 7-5 6-2 victory.

Feliciano Lopez booked the final last-four spot with victory over sixth seed Milos Raonic.

Andy Murray's Spanish doubles partner dropped the first set but hit back to win 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-5).

Lopez, the winner at Queen's in 2017 who was handed a wild card this year, will meet Auger-Aliassime in Saturday's semi-final.
