Andy Murray was handed a place in the semi-finals of the AEGON Championships following the withdrawal of Marin Cilic.

The second seed is through to the last four at Queen's without having to lift a racket after eighth seed Cilic pulled out with a knee injury.

Murray, who has been recovering from an ankle injury himself, has been handed a day's rest and will meet either Andy Roddick or Fernando Verdasco on Saturday.

"Unfortunately Cilic has had to retire as he hurt his knee last night, so tomorrow semis vs Roddick or Verdasco," Murray revealed on his Twitter page.

Roddick won the first set against Verdasco and took an early break in the second before rain forced the players off court midway through the second set.
