Querrey’s Curiosity
-

Sam Querrey, an American wild card who has a lot of people talking about the future of men’s tennis. But on Monday night, standing in the corridor which leads to the Ashe Stadium court, he was just an excited kid.
He was there with two friends and they craned their necks to see what was happening during the Billie Jean King dedication ceremony. When they were asked to move, they kept peeking to get a glimpse. The plan was to find a seat in the first-come-first-serve section reserved for players and guests.
You wouldn’t see a lot of other players that into seeing another pro’s match. And if Querrey keeps coming back, he probably won’t either. But for one night at least, he was just another hyped Agassi fan looking for an open seat.
After play was suspended on Tuesday, Gael Monfils played with some of the children in the lounge, and taught one little girl to putt. You would never have known he was in the middle of a match against American Michael Russell, and won the first set 6-2.
