Dancevic lost to Tursunov in the 2007 final at Indianapolis and is looking for his first ATP title.

"It's nice to get a victory over him," said Dancevic, who had lost the previous three meetings to the 27th-ranked Russian. "I'm glad I played a solid match."

Tursunov captured the first set but could not recover after losing the second set tie-break.

"I had chances...but I couldn't convert them" Tursunov said. "He got lots of free points. He served well, I didn't."

Dancevic will meet third-seeded Sam Querrey of the United States in Saturday's semi-finals after the American beat seventh-seeded Marc Gicquel of France 6-4 7-5.

"This is my third year of reaching the semi-finals I'm finally hoping to make the jump into the final," Querrey said.

American Robby Ginepri, who beat compatriot Alex Bogomolov Jr 7-5 6-1, will meet John Isner in the second semi-final after Isner beat Wayne Odesnik 7-5 6-7(2) 7-5.
