Extended timeout no problem for Sam Querrey

LONDON -- Sam Querrey is honest enough to admit it's prize-money primarily that keeps him working on his game.

But he loves the sport, too, and Wimbledon in particular.

Poor lighting had forced the postponement of their match Friday night with Querrey, 29, one game from victory, on Tsonga's serve. But one game is all it took Querrey on Saturday afternoon when play resumed, making the final score 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (5), 1-6, 7-5.

The American had warmed up for about 20 minutes, and it took him only a fifth of that to play the eight points, including two backhand winners, that ended the contest.
