The American second seed will be seeking his fourth title here in five years after setting up a final showdown with the winner of the all-French duel between Nicolas Mahut and Arnaud Clement.

After torrential downpours over west London [Images] delayed the start by three hours, Roddick made up for lost time by breaking in the ninth game to love and sealed the set when Tursunov floated a forehand long.

The Russian kept pace with Roddick till 5-5 in the second set and went on to use up all three of his HawkEye challenges, bowing out after 71 minutes with the American unleashing an unreturnable serve on match point.
