WASHINGTON -- The player who beat Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon is ready to get back on the court.Sam Querrey has been on the ATP Tour for a decade, but he arrived at the Citi Open with an entirely different level of celebrity after knocking off the No. 1-ranked player in the world. Many more people know who he is now after that upset and a subsequent trip to the Wimbledon quarterfinals.I got to do `Good morning America, I got to throw the first pitch out at the Dodger game, I got to do a GQ photo shoot, Querrey said Monday. Thats usually not my normal week.Querrey took some time off and now hopes to build off the Djokovic victory this week in Washington and at other events this summer. The 28-year-old picked up some confidence along the way but doesnt feel like a different player.It was an incredible 10 days for me and something Ill always remember, said Querrey, whos now ranked 29th in the world. I still view myself as a good player. I thought I was good before the match. I think Im still a good player now.Querrey beat Djokovic in a five-set thriller, then dispatched Nicolas Mahut in straight sets before losing to Milos Raonic in the quarterfinals. The only players left on his wish list are Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, but his giant-killing reputation preceded him when he was asked if theres any other player hed like to beat.I mean Id love to beat every player, Querrey said. If I get to play Roger or Rafa, those are kind of the two big-name guys that Ive never beat, thatd be incredible. But well see if that happens.Querrey wont see those players this week at the Citi Open, which features American John Isner and Frenchman Gael Monfils as the top two seeds. The eighth-seeded American will face either Bjorn Fratangelo or qualifier Alex Kuznetsov in his first match, and his summer goal is to get back into the top 20.On the womens side of the tournament, Australian Samatha Stosur is the top seed and easily took care of qualifier Alla Kudryavtseva 6-3, 6-0 in her opening match Monday. With the conditions as hot and humid as Querrey said he has ever experienced, Stosur calmly advanced without much difficulty.The start was a little bit close and then once I got that first break of serve, then I really was able to loosen up and play well and maybe she got a little bit deflated as well, Stosur said.Defending champion Sloane Stephens is the No. 2 seed and opens against Japans Risa Ozaki. She said it feels normal to be back but has felt a noticeable boost from winning a tournament.Its kind of just been a weight lifted, Stephens said. I think it was kind of a relief that I kind of got that out of the way.Likewise, Querrey made a name for himself at Wimbledon but may have created some higher expectations for himself in the process.Im trying to kind of put it behind me and move on, Querrey said. I just want to kind of continue on with the momentum and keep working and focusing on my ranking and moving in the right direction.Nike Baseball Custom Jerseys .

Cheap MLB Custom Jerseys . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others.SEATTLE - After getting himself in a two-strike hole, Raul Ibanez did everything he could to stay in the at-bat against John Danks. For a dozen pitches, Ibanez hung in there. On the 13th pitch he won the struggle, hitting his 10th homer for the decisive runs in the Seattle Mariners 4-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. "At that point you just forget about the count, you forget about everything thats happening," Ibanez said. "At one point in the box, I said, I think thats 3-2. Then I said to myself, It doesnt matter. At this point, it doesnt matter. Youre just fighting." After swinging and missing at the first two pitches he saw in the third inning, Ibanez fouled off the next three before taking a ball. He fouled off four more before hitting the 13th pitch into the right-field seats for a two-run shot. According to the team, it was the most pitches a Mariners hitter had seen before homering since at least 1988. "I just ran out of ideas," Danks said. "We threw hard away, soft away, hard in, soft in. I thought I had him looking in, and threw a cutter away and it was up a little more than I like." The White Sox have lost seven straight games, their longest slide since dropping seven in a row in September 2011. Chicago had won its previous eight games in Seattle, but even the formerly friendly venue and a starting pitcher with a history of success against the Mariners couldnt stop the losing streak. Danks (0-2) allowed four runs — three earned — and seven hits in six innings, striking out five and walking one in his third start of the year. The defeat snapped Danks seven-game winning streak against the Mariners — in his last eight starts against Seattle, he was 7-0 with a 1.31 ERA. Seattle starter Joe Saunders (4-5) returned to his winning ways at Safeco Field , allowing one run and five hits in 6 1-3 innings with one walk and five strikeouts. Saunders is 10-1 at the Mariners ballpark. The lone loss came in his previous home start against Texas on May 24, when he gave up eight runs in five innings. "First and foremost, its nice to get a win to start off a series," Saunders said. "Weve been kind of strugggling of late.dddddddddddd" The Mariners snapped their own two-game skid. Tom Wilhelmsen, who had blown three of his last four save opportunities, gave up a two-out RBI single to Adam Dunn in the ninth but earned his 13th save. "Its nice for once to see things go the right way in the ninth," Wilhelmsen said. Wilhelmsen walked Alex Rios leading off the inning but regrouped to strike out the next two batters before Dunns hit. "You cant try too hard, or youre going to overthrow and walk people like Ive been," Wilhelmsen said. "Just relax and know youve done it before, and just try to stick with that. That was something I told myself today." In the third inning, Kyle Seager beat out a bunt single and Kendrys Morales drove him home with a double off the centre-field wall before Ibanez capped the inning with his long at-bat and home run. "That was one of the best at-bats Ive ever seen up there," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "Left on left, him fighting through so many different pitches, fouling them off, tough pitches — neither guy was giving in. For Raul to get him in the end there, that was pretty special." Chicago opened the scoring in the second. Dayan Viciedo hit a bloop double to centre and scored on Jeff Keppingers single. Seattle answered in the bottom half when Jesus Sucres RBI single tied it at 1. NOTES: White Sox bench coach Mark Parent was ejected by plate umpire Dale Scott in the seventh. ... The Mariners held a short, closed-door team meeting before taking batting practice. "I just wanted to talk about where were at," Wedge said. "Weve had a lot of tough losses these first couple months, more so than Ive seen, and Im proud of the way theyve handled it." ... Seattle OF Franklin Gutierrez (right hamstring strain) ended his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, but remains on the disabled list. Mariners head athletic trainer Rick Griffin said Gutierrez still has lingering hamstring issues, and the Mariners plan to put him on another rehab assignment. ... The White Sox activated infielder Gordon Beckham from the 15-day disabled list and designated infielder Tyler Greene for assignment. ' ' '
