MUNICH(AP) Tomas Berdych rallied past Lleyton Hewitt 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4) Friday to reach the semifinals of the BMW Open.

Hewitt, a wild-card entry, is ranked 55th after taking time off for hip surgery. He won his 27th title in Houston last month.

In his first semifinal this year, Berdych will play either Marin Cilic or Jeremy Chardy.

Mikhail Youzhny upset seventh-seeded Paul-Henri Mathieu 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 and will play wild-card Daniel Brands. He advanced to his first career semifinal when Potito Starace retired because of a thigh injury with Brands ahead 6-4, 1-1.
