Sam Querrey Serves Up Serious Potential

Written by RJ Williams

This past weekend, I attended the Farmers Classic Men's Tennis Tournament at UCLA and I was blown away by Sam Querrey, one of the hottest new players in tennis and the winner of the tournament.

The Thousand Oaks, CA, native is currently ranked #20 on the ATP World Singles Tour, and he has one of the best serves I've ever seen! This guy is only 22, and he's already accomplished more than most tennis players could hope to in a lifetime, boasting 6 career titles. He's competed in Wimbledon, the French Open, the Australian Open, the U.S. Open... you name it, he's been there!

Every time Sam plays, watching the crowd is almost as exciting as watching the match - five of his friends from high school always show up to cheer him on. Calling themselves the Samurais, they paint their chests to spell S-A-M-M-Y, wear crazy outfits, bring musical instruments into the stadium, and whip the crowd into a frenzy. Makes me think we all ought to have fan clubs follow us around!

Keep an eye on Sam Querrey; he's going to be the next big name in tennis.
