Player of the Week: Sam Querrey

So Sam Querrey earned 90 points this week while Donald Young earned 100 on his way to another challenger title and a 10 match challenger win streak. But for Querrey it was more about who he beat to get to the quarterfinals that makes him the week's best performer.

Querrey lost badly to the eventual champion, Novak Djokovic, who oh by the way became the first man in 2013 to beat Rafael Nadal on a hardcourt. So no shame in that. Before that loss by Querrey, though, he took out the following:

d. Mikhail Youhzny 7-6 (3), 6-3
d. Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3, 7-6 (2)

That's a couple big time wins for Querrey in desperate need of some confidence. In fact, I'd argue those are his two most impressive wins of the year, back to back. And make no mistake it's all between the ears for Querrey, although he seems to be dealing with arm issues of somekind as well as stamina problems.
