- Sam Querrey
It’s the little things that separate the champions from the also-rans.
For Maria Sharapova, it’s a pre-serve ritual involving her hair, a stare, two bounces of the ball, and a scream. She hasn’t lost a set on her way to Saturday’s finals in the Cellular South Cup.
For Andy Roddick, the difference between beating Sam Querrey last week and losing to him Friday night in the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships was a double fault, a missed forehand, a close line call, and a smashed racquet in the second game of the third set. He was serving at the time and blew a 40-15 lead. Five games later he was whipped.
