The match was halted when a spectator discovered a bomb threat message pinned to a wall.  Instead of panicking, Roddick and Hewitt actually stood at the net and talked during the 20-minute delay while the security officials investigated the situation.  What do you even talk about (with your opponent) as you wait to find out if someone has planted an explosive device in your vicinity?  It just shows how cool and composed these professional athletes are!

When they were given the all clear, play resumed and Roddick emerged the victor, beating Hewitt, a four-time Queen’s Club champion, 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (7-4).

Friday’s quarterfinals will feature matches between sixth-seeded James Blake vs 14th-seeded Mikhail Youzhny and Steve Darcis vs former No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero.
