Meet the Awkward, Quirky American Who Upset Djoker
From bleacherreport.com - Today, 2:48 PM



Until Saturday, Sam Querrey 's most notable television appearance was as a bachelor on Bravo's The Millionaire Matchmaker . But Querrey upset Novak Djokovic in the third round of Wimbledon 2016, one-upping his time on the reality show,

OK, I looked it up: 28 consecutive QFs or better. (From Wimbledon 2008.) 9 consecutive SFs or better. (Lost QF of AO 2014.) I can't remember Federer's record, but I bet you do. :whistle:

Lol! 36 consecutive quarter finals and 23 consecutive semis

 

[Federberg]

Novak Djokovic is now 4-21 (16%) in best of 5 matches in his career where he has dropped the first two sets.

Of course the 4 he won all went the full 5 sets - Anderson 2015 WC, Seppi 2012 RG, Federer 2011 USO, GGL 2005 WC.

Of the 21 he lost -

1 has been in 5 sets - Murray 2012 USO.

6 have been in 4 sets including this last against Querrey.

14 have been in 3 sets.

In comparison, Rafa is 3-17 (15%), Roger is 8-32 (20%), and Andy Murray is 9-34 (21%) in the same situation.

Respectfully,
masterclass

Small thing... 8/32 is 25%

as we all expected..the q man wasted Djokovic in four.

You misunderstood my post.
8-32 = 8 wins - 32 defeats. So it is 8 wins out of 40 = 20%.
All of the numbers given are wins-losses record.
Sorry if I didn't make it clear. I edited the original post to hopefully do just that.
Thanks.

I thought it was the Brexit.

He's dropped the first, but plenty of time. I'm watching Lopez/Kyrgios, which is highly-entertaining. Isner/Tsonga at 12-11 in the 5th. I cannot watch that.

 

[Moxie]

Nick was serving for the match 40-30 in the 4th, after 2 days, and Pascal Maria gave him a time violation warning. Seriously?! What is the point of that?

I think Vesely wants to say something in this tournament.......
