• Querrey, Back in Round of 16, Leads a Dwindling American Contingent
  The last time Sam Querrey made the Round of 16 at the United States Open, back in 2008, he was a gangly unseeded 20-year-old who delighted first and foremost in the fact his third-round match got some national television exposure on CBS. “That’s big,” he said afterward, grinning widely.
