James Blake vs. Sam Querrey
Head-to-Head
Blake leads series tied at 4-1
Last Meeting - 2009 San Jose QF
Blake won 7-6(9) 6-3
James Blake has been in a title drought so far this year with the best result being the final showing in Estoril and a semifinal showing in San Jose. Blake, who is quite popular on the tour and recently won the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year award at the annual ATP Awards function for his commendable work in raising money for the research dedicated towards the cure of cancer, is constantly struggling in the tennis arena. His opponent today is compatriot Sam Querrey, who enjoyed a good run at the Australian hardcourt season. So far, a good match up between two fiesty Americans.
