David Nalbandian books a spot in the quarter-finals of Queen's after securing victory in three sets over Edouard Roger-Vasselin.

David Nalbandian performed an impressive comeback to reach the quarter-finals of Queen's with a 4-6 7-5 6-3 victory over Edouard Roger-Vasselin.

The Frenchman started off brighter than his Argentina opponent, who struggled to come up with responses to Roger-Vasselin's powerful serves and impressive forehand shots across the court.

The 28-year-old managed to wrap up the first set and maintained his dominance in the second, while Nalbandian tried to force an impact but failed to find a break in the early stages of the contest.

Despite Roger-Vasselin's dominance, it was the Argentina professional who launched an impressive comeback and forced through a third set after a number of precise backhands and strong returns.

Nalbandian kept the pressure on his competitor and managed to storm through the third set, leaving Roger-Vasselin licking his wounds after relinquishing a one-set lead.
