Sam Querrey was battered out of the Delray Beach tournament by Belgium’s Christophe Rochus.
Christophe Rochus shocked Sam Querrey with a straight-set beatdown on Wednesday. The American served at a dismal 49%, but it was not only Querrey’s serve that let him down. Querrey managed just one break point (though he converted) in the entire match, particularly troubling since Rochus is not known for a booming first serve.
Querrey’s serving woes began almost immediately. His first-serve percentage in the opening set languished below 40% and he was broken twice by Rochus. Querrey’s movement got worse as the set progressed; Rochus was solid enough to take advantage of the flagging form of his opponent.
The second set was no better for the American. Querrey’s form continued to fall apart – he did not earn a single break point on the Belgian’s serve. Rochus was able to chip away at Querrey’s serve throughout the set. Three breaks of serve gave Rochus the convincing match win.
Rochus will play Stefan Koubek in the quarterfinals.
