Ryan Sweeting, in the battle of 2 tall Americans, belied his ranking yet again against top 20 player Sam Querrey on the clay at Houston this week for the US Men's Clay Court Championships.After having a bye in the first round, Querrey looked on course to reverse his defeat by Sweeting at Delray Beach in February, a set up, and into a second set tie break. However it was the Bahamas born 23 year old that held firm to win the tie break and the deciding set to reach the 3rd round.
Sweeting has moved into the top 100 and with performances such as these could make further significant inroads and ultimately come into serious Davis Cup reckoning for the US.
