2015 Houston U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship ATP 250

Querrey and Sock into the semis! Querrey will need to defeat Verdasco and Sock will have to beat Anderson if they are going to meet in the final.

Make it so!

I hope Verdasco beats Querrey, but we agree about Sock.

Also, the Sock/Anderson match is beginning right now. It's on the Tennis Channel for those in the US.

Sock looks like he is gonna take it. Up a set and a break.

He won! His first ATP final. Congrats. :clap

Way to go Sock! With that win he moves up to No. 41 on the live rankings. If he can win tomorrow, he'll be around No. 35! :clap

Come on Querrey!

This has the potential to be career-changing for Sock. If he can get his ranking up to No. 35 this weekend, then add some wins in Europe over the next month, he could be seeded at RG.

He's only defending 32 points before Paris, from a second round loss in Nice, but he's defending nothing in Rome. There's his chance.

EDIT: I can't remember when the cutoff is to determine seeds for RG. If it's before Rome, then Sock won't be able to achieve this.

Sock is quietly making a name for himself. Congrats.Looks like it will be an all American final, If Sam does his part and hold one more time.

I got my wish! Querrey beats Verdasco in three sets! All-American final vs. Sock tomorrow!

After a LONG rain delay, Jack Sock takes the first set in a tiebreak, after saving 3 set points.

 

[tented]

Great example of Brett Haber's dry sense of humor: "I don't know if he was serve and volleying, or if he tripped." :lolz:

 

[Kirijax]

Way to go Sock! One set away from his first ATP title. :clap

 

[Kirijax]

Ruh-oh... Sock cracks first in the second set. Needs to break back now.

And he does! 4-4 in the second.

 

[tented]

Sam saves one championship point, and holds serve for a second set tiebreak.

 

[tented]

Sock up 4-2 at the changeover.

Sock wins his first ATP title. Congrats! :clap

Congrats Sock! I hope he builds on this! He has a decent game. He needs to work on his fitness a bit more and he can improve even more.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]
