Sam Austin Querrey[1][2] (born October 7, 1987) is an American professional tennis player from San Francisco, California who currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. His career-high singles ranking is world no. 17, achieved in January 2011. Querrey holds the record for most consecutive service aces since the ATP began keeping records of those statistics, with 10 in a 2007 match against James Blake.[3] His regular doubles partner is fellow American John Isner. On July 2, 2016, Querrey defeated World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the third round of The Championships at Wimbledon (7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 7–6(7–5)). Djokovic was the 2-time defending champion at the event and had won his last 30 Grand Slam matches in consecutive succession.

Querrey turned down a scholarship offer from the University of Southern California (USC) to turn pro.[4] His father Mike Querrey recommended that his son try making it in tennis,[5] as he often regretted his own decision to go to the University of Arizona rather than play baseball for the Detroit Tigers, who had drafted him. Querrey said that going pro was "one of the toughest decisions of my life. […] I'd play a match and want to go pro. I'd lose and want to go to college."[6]

Career

2006

On June 11, 2006, Querrey became the first player to win a challenger event in his pro debut.[citation needed] He won in the Yuba City and Winnetka challengers.[citation needed] He won his first-round match at the Indian Wells Masters tournament over Bobby Reynolds, before falling to James Blake in three sets.[citation needed] He defeated American Vince Spadea at the Countrywide Classic in Los Angeles.[citation needed] At the US Open, Querrey received a wildcard and defeated Philipp Kohlschreiber in straight sets, before falling to Gastón Gaudio in the second round.[7]

In the 2009 US Open, Querrey lost in the third round to Robin Söderling in four sets.

Querrey's year was ended prematurely by a potentially career-threatening accident in which a glass table he was sitting on collapsed, impaling his arm and requiring emergency surgery; the location of injury just missed causing nerve damage, which could have ended his tennis career.[10]

Querrey finished the year ranked a career-high no. 25, and as the no. 2 American behind Andy Roddick.[citation needed]

2010

Although seeded at the Australian Open, Querrey lost in the first round to 2003 Australian Open finalist Rainer Schüttler.[citation needed] Querrey then reached the semifinals of the SAP Open, where he lost to Andy Roddick in singles.{ However, Querrey teamed with Mardy Fish to win the doubles title.[citation needed]

Querrey's next tournament was the 2010 Regions Morgan Keegan Championships, where he was seeded eighth.[citation needed] He defeated defending champion Roddick in the quarterfinals. He then defeated Ernests Gulbis in the semifinals, and defeated fellow American John Isner, for the championship.[citation needed] Querrey also teamed with Isner in the doubles, where they won the championship; Querrey became the first player to win the singles and doubles at Memphis simultaneously since 1981.[citation needed] At the Abierto Mexicano Telcel, he lost in the first round against Fernando González in three sets.[citation needed]

In the Queens Club in London, Querrey beat fellow American Mardy Fish in straight sets, in the final of the Aegon Championships.[citation needed] The victory made him the first American to win the tournament since Andy Roddick.[citation needed] The victory gave Querrey his third title of the season, making him the only player besides Rafael Nadal to win at least three titles, and made Querrey the first player in 2010 to win titles on three different surfaces.[citation needed] This was Querrey's first ATP tour title on grass.[citation needed]

Despite being ranked no. 21 in the world at the time, Querrey was seeded no. 18 at Wimbledon, due to his Queen's Club result.[citation needed] He was entered in the doubles with Isner, where they were the 12th seeds, but the partners agreed to forfeit after Isner played the longest tennis match in history.[11] In the singles, Querrey defeated 2002 Wimbledon semifinalist Xavier Malisse in five sets to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time, where he lost to Andy Murray.[citation needed]

Querrey defended his title at the Farmers Classic in Los Angeles, winning a third-set tiebreaker in the quarterfinals against 2003 Australian Open finalist Rainer Schüttler, then defeating Janko Tipsarević in the semifinals, to reach his fifth final of the year.[citation needed] In the final, Querrey faced world no. 4 and 2010 Australian Open finalist Andy Murray.

In Davis Cup competition in Boise, he won his first rubber against Viktor Troicki, but lost the deciding rubber against Djokovic, despite the fact that Djokovic suffered an ankle injury early in the match.

Querrey was eliminated in the first round in Madrid, Rome, and Wimbledon. He did not have a good summer on the North American hard-court swing and consequently slipped out of the top 20, ceding his place as top American player to his friend John Isner.

The year was not very successful, since Querrey failed to make a single final for the first time since 2011.

2014

Querrey also struggled early in 2014, being eliminated in the first round in Brisbane and Sydney. However, he made it to the third round of the Australian Open, defeating Santiago Giraldo and Ernests Gulbis, before succumbing to Fabio Fognini.

Querrey then reached the final of the Nottingham Open, where he lost to Uzbek Denis Istomin. Both Sock and Istomin were first-time ATP tour singles winners.

2016

After failing to make it past the 2nd round of any tournament since July, Querrey started 2016 with a very strong run, reaching the semi-finals in Memphis, where he would lose to the eventual champion Kei Nishikori. The following week, Querrey reached the final at Delray Beach, where he defeated American Rajeev Ram to win his first ATP title since 2012 and return to the Top 50 of the world rankings.

At Wimbledon, Querrey faced Novak Djokovic in the 3rd round while his opponent was holding all four majors. Despite being listed as high as a 30-1 underdog,[19] Querrey upset the world No. 1 player in four sets to snap Djokovic's streak of reaching at least the quarterfinals in every Grand Slam since the 2009 French Open, and his streak of 30 consecutive Grand Slam match wins.[20] It was also Querrey's first win over a No. 1 ranked player. He then continued his successful run by defeating Nicolas Mahut to become the first American to reach the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam since the 2011 U.S. Open.

Playing style

Querrey plays a powerful offensive baseline style utilizing a powerful serve and forehand to dominate play. Querrey is known for his serve which has reached as high as 227 kilometres per hour (141 mph). He also consistently serves a high number of aces. Querrey's favorite shot is his inside-in forehand(down the line) which he uses to win points outright. He also has the record for most consecutive aces at 10.

Equipment and sponsors

Querrey plays with the Babolat AeroPro Drive GT Racquet after switching from Prince.[21] He wore Adidas apparel and shoes until the end of the 2009 season. At the start of the 2010 season, he changed his clothing sponsor to K-Swiss.[22] In February 2012, Querrey has announced that he will be joining the Babolat team and playing with their Aeropro Drive GT Plus racket.[citation needed]

Charitable work

Querrey plays in tournaments to raise money for charities such as the Boys and Girls Club, speaks to school groups like Healthy and Active Lifestyle (HAL) in Fort Wayne, Indiana and has expressed an interest in creating his own nonprofit organization.[citation needed]

Personal life

Querrey's fan club, the "Samurai Club", was started by high school friends of his. They attend his matches shirtless with the letters "S-A-M-M-Y" on their chests.[23]
