Sam Querrey 'shocked' after beating Andy Murray at Wimbledon

Sam Querrey admitted he was "still in shock" after beating Andy Murray in five sets in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

The 24th seed became the first American man to reach a Grand Slam semi-final since Andy Roddick in 2009 with a 3-6 6-4 6-7 (4) 6-1 6-1 win over the defending champion on Wednesday.

Querrey started slowly, losing the first seven points of the match, but took control later on as Murray struggled with a hip injury.

"I'm still in a state of shock. I'm glad I hit that last serve in," said Querrey, who finished with 27 aces and 70 winners.

"I didn't start the best but I just kept swinging away and found my groove in the last two sets.

"I was a little nervous at first when we got out there. I had a little bit of a shaky game, my first service game. But then, when I broke back in the second (set), I kind of took a deep breath, settled in a little bit.

"As the match kept going, I just felt more and more confident, more and more like I belonged."

Querrey, who faces seventh seed Marin Cilic in the semi-finals on Friday, said he was not distracted by Murray's injury issues.

"I kind of noticed it a little bit from the beginning. But I just kind of stayed with my game," he said. "I tried to play aggressive and keep swinging after the ball.

"For the most part I just try to worry about what I'm doing.

"I don't want to alter my game that much or change things up based on what the other guy is doing or how the other guy is feeling. I just try to block it out."

It is the second year in a row Querrey has beaten the defending Wimbledon champion, having ousted Novak Djokovic in 2016.

Asked how the results compare, he said: "I was probably a little more fired up today, especially in the fourth and fifth sets. There's a little more on the line.

"It was similar to last year, honestly. But this year just feels a little better than last year."
