American Young Guns to Get Chance at Davis Cup in Serbia

A new era for American Davis Cup has begun, and it will be up to John Isner and Sam Querrey to step up and fill the shoes of long-time Davis Cuppers Andy Roddick and James Blake who are sitting out the competition this year.   The tall twosome — Isner is 6’9″ an Querey 6’6″ — have a [...]

Querrey and Five More Americans Out; Roddick Rolls

Half of the dozen American men in the Australian Open draw fell on the opening day.  Of the nine Americans in action in the men’s singles, three, including a trimmed-down Andy Roddick and No. 23 seed Mardy Fish, won.  However, six players from the U.S. came up short, including Sam Querrey.  He lost in straight sets [...]

Americans Bunched in Australian Open Draw; Roddick vs. Querrey in Round 3?

Six of the 12 American men playing the Australian Open are bunched in No. 3 seed-Novak Djokovic’s quarter of draw, including two of the three seeded Americans, No. 7 Andy Roddick and No. 23 Mardy Fish. Most intriguing is the strong possibility of a third round matchup between Roddick and unseeded Sam Querrey, who with a current ranking [...]

Sam Querrey won the first set against the world No. 1 in his Davis Cup debut but that was the end of the red dirt road for him.  Rafael Nadal ultimately won 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in the first match being hosted in Madrid’s famous bullfighting arena.  See the Associated Press story for more [...]

America’s Only Davis Cup Hope: Never Mind Nadal, Defeat Ferrer

The key to the U.S. upsetting Spain on their home red dirt in a Madrid bullfighting ring will not be the seemingly impossible task of knocking off world No. 1 Rafael Nadal, the reigning king of clay.   The key for the U.S. team — acknowledged underdogs despite being the 2007 defending Davis Cup champions [...]

Blake Pulls Out of Davis Cup; Querrey, Not Fish, Named Replacement

James Blake has pulled out of the Davis Cup match against Spain in Madrid Sept. 19-21, and team Captain Patrick McEnroe has replaced him with Sam Querrey — not the higher ranked Mardy Fish. “James is just physically and mentally exhausted after a grueling summer,” McEnroe said. “He said he needed a break and we [...]
