Monte Carlo: Querrey Overcomes Gasquet

Holy smokes! Apparently I started talking about Sam Querrey at just the right moment, because he’s doing some American Wonderkid stunts. Querrey just beat Richard Gasquet at the Monte Carlo Masters.

Querrey got soundly beat in the first set 6-2 by Gasquet. Querrey showed his tenacity and mental strength by winning the final two sets 6-4, 6-3. In fact, Querrey broke Gasquet to go up 5-3 in the third and then closed out the match with a strong service game. Actually the last two games of the third set were all Sam Querrey: he won both at 40-15.

This 20-year-old has officially impressed me. Now how will he do in the quarters against Novak Djokovic?
