    - All of the top seeds are through to the quarter-finals at The Queens Club.

    David Nalbandian (4) def Nicolas Mahut 6-4,6-1

    Argentine David Nalbandian had a surprisingly easy win over big-serving Frenchman Nicolas Mahut. Mahut ran through the Queens Club draw last year, making it all the way to the finals before losing to Andy Roddick in three. Nalbandian returned brilliantly throughout the course of the match. He had four chances to break Mahut's serve and converted all four. Nalbandian will face another in-form player in Richard Gasquet.

    Richard Gasquet (5) def Mario Ancic 7-6(5), 6-4

    The short break France's Richard Gasquet took from Roland Garros seems to have paid off. Gasquet and Ancic both played with nerves of steel. There were no breaks of serve in the first set, though the Frenchman had five opportunities. Appropriately, the tiebreak was decided by a single mini-break as well. Ancic was able to stave off another four break points before Gasquet finally managed to convert one. Gasquet will play Argentine David Nalbandian in what is sure to be a blockbuster match.
