Blake-Querrey quarterfinal of Cincinnati

[anointedone]

James Blake will take on fellow American Sam Querrey in one quarterfinal of Cincinnati. This is a rematch of their meeting just a few weeks ago in the Indianapolis quarters, won by Querrey. Blake would surely like revenge, and is coming off an extremely impressive domination of Ferrero.

heart says Blake in a three-set thriller, head says Blake in two close sets

Blake in two sets. I'm going with my "new girlfriend inspiration" theory.

So your heart gives a damn as to how exciting the victory is? Interesting...

only because both guys are likable Americans so I want to see both play very well

 

[Objective Danny]

He's inspired by his new babe so he won't waste time. James will take out the Big Boy in two.

 

[Andres]

Querrey in 3.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

he played rather good against ferrero... allez james !

 

[J-man]

No matter who wins it will be in 3 sets. I'm leaning alittle towards Blake. But Querrey is also playing very well. It could go ethier way

 

[Forehand Forever]

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

The match just started, on one of the ESPN channels, I think it is one of the Spanish one...

But Blake in 2 sets.

 

[Chauvalito]

Hey all,

Does Querrey use the 18x20 version of the hybrid tour?

 

[Starlite]

I know, WTF ESPN??? Are they trying to up their ratings with kid touchers or something? Maybe that's going to far but its very annoying.

I'm going with Sam for this one, he can handle James.

 

[Dimonator133]

mediocre tennis so far; blake did well to escape that last game

 

[dunloplayah]

wrong forum to ask this question, sorry...

 

[Dimonator133]

that was a 7-5 set that felt more like 6-2

 

[Breaker]

Good, hopefully Sam can finish this in straights.

 

[Starlite]

Patrick MacEnroe notes that James only had 5 winners the whole set. Yikes!

 

[Chauvalito]

Querrey has been serving horrible ever since he unpacked a new stick

nope, that was about QUERREY. He played great, but with most of his "winners" James gets a racket on it, so they don't count. Querrey's basically just playing real smart, and letting both James' errors and his own serve get him out of a few jams.

Ahhhh, I see.

 

[Dimonator133]

James' 1st set errors: 24

James' 2nd set errors: 4

 

[jaggy]

Querry needs to hang in on serve and hope something goes wrong with Blake

 

[Forehand Forever]

Blake's forehand is owning right now it's huge.

 

[Dimonator133]

epic last point of the match. Blake wins.

Yes, match point was pretty spectacular. Good job James, he completely turned the match around.

 

[J-man]

Yes what a great match point by both players. Both Blake and Querrey played well in their own respects. Both had there upds and downs. It was the first time I had seen a full match from Querrey. I was amazed to see how heavy his forehand is. He played smart and it really showed in the first set when Blake was making alot of errors. Querrey was letting Blake the errors. The heavy ball from Querrey's forehand was giving Blake some trouble. Really jumping towards Blake.

Blake hung in there and changed his game plan and it helped him win his match. making more balls and such. Coming to the net succesfull. Which helped him win the match

All and all a very entertaining match.

yeah, I saw Querrey play down in Miami this year and he is playing a completely different brand of tennis now. Good to see.

 

[Challenger]

Yes, match point was pretty spectacular. Good job James, he completely turned the match around.

I got a good laugh when Querrey looked like he was going to leap over the net, limbs flailing and all.
