Querrey is the first American man to reach the semifinals at a major tournament since Andy Roddick was the Wimbledon runner-up in 2009. Querrey had only ever once before reached the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam tournament, and that came at Wimbledon last year.

Murray, a two-time champion at the All England Club, has now lost his last four five-set matches overall. He entered the tournament after pulling out of two exhibition matches citing a sore left hip.

Seven-time champion Roger Federer will follow against Milos Raonic, who defeated Federer in last year's semifinals.

On No. 1 Court, Gilles Muller will be first against Marin Cilic. Muller advanced to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the first time by beating Nadal in five sets in the fourth round.

In the other match in the second biggest stadium at the All England Club, three-time champion Novak Djokovic will take on 2010 finalist Tomas Berdych.

Centre Court has a roof, but No. 1 Court does not.
