Querrey served the match...Did you watch the match? Querrey served the match of his life. Someone said at the beginning of the tournament that Djokovic might be vulnerable to a big server. I think said someone had Raonic in mind. Turns out, the Djoker didn't even make it that far.<br /><br />Sam also returned well. Sampras (who would certainly know) wrote in his autobiography that winning Wimbledon is really more about the return than the serve. Going in, anyone could have told you Querrey's serve was superior to Djokovic's. No one would have expected him to return better, especially important in the two tie breakers he won.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-45576060360393379782016-07-03T09:06:17.648-04:002016-07-03T09:06:17.648-04:00Help!
