Jordan Thompson has made it into the quarterfinals of the Queen's Club Championships but could take no pleasure from defeating home hero Andy Murray for the second time on one of the Briton's grass-court strongholds.

Thompson last beat Murray on the beautiful Queen's courts back in 2017 when the Scot was Wimbledon champion and world number one.

But Wednesday's triumph was a very different affair. Instead of beating a man at the top of his game, Thompson this time saw off a limping, ailing 37-year-old Murray, who called it off after just five matches, handing Thompson a walkover after just 20 minutes.

It was, in all likelihood, the last time Murray would play at the famous old London venue where he had won five titles.

But in the last eight, Thompson will be joined by fellow Sydneysider Rinky Hijikata, who earned a fine win over Italian Matteo Arnaldi to ensure there will be two Australians in the quarterfinals of the most prestigious grass-court tournament outside Wimbledon.
