Dancevic reaches Indy semis

---

INDIANAPOLIS, Jul 25 (AFP): Frank Dancevic ended a run of three-straight losses to Dmitry Tursunov, upsetting the top seed 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 6-2 to reach the semi-finals of the ATP hardcourt event here Friday.
But his Saturday test against third seed Sam Querrey, a winner over French number seven Marc Gicquel 6-4, 7-5, will be a show of strength between two big hitting rising stars. Querrey hammered 19 aces in the win over Gicquel.
The Canadian won their only other meeting in Sydney two years ago, but Querrey has his eye on the prize this weekend.
"I might be favoured as the seed," said the 22-year-old who is shadowed at US events by an informal support group of "Samurai" friends complete with body paint and screams of support every time their man makes a winning shot. "But everybody can play.
"I like my chances through, I'm playing well. But Frank is also playing great. This is my third year of reaching the semi-finals I'm finally hoping to make the jump into the final."
At the bottom of the draw, 2005 champion Robby Ginepri returned to his glory days by beating fellow American Alex Bogomolov 7-5, 6- 1. Ginepri will play either Wayne Odesnik or John Isner.
Russian Tursunov, who lives in California, had beaten
Dencevic in the final on grass at Eastbourne the week before Wimbledon.
He has also defeated Dancevic in the final here two years ago after winning their first meeting at Queen's Club in London in 2007.
"This is my fir st hardcourt week and I felt a bit nervous," admitted 24-year-old Dancevic, the world 121.
