Sam is a legend🇺🇸🤝
Such a great episode!
If memory serves, Querrey's dad played baseball in college and regretted that he didn't turn pro and skip college. He advised Sam to do the same. Sam seemed to do things better than John Isner, but it felt like Isner had the better results which, I believe, had a lot to with Isner's serve and his ability to hold his nerve. Sam had early success and he was a nice guy. Early criticism was that Sam lacked mental toughness and wasn't "mean" enough or intense enough. I always like Sam as a person, but I know he went through some personal motivational issues a few years into his career where he had to take some time off. It's been so long since I was following Sam's career that the details might be wrong.
Oh, there is one bit of trivia, Sam once played John in the finals of an event in the US and teamed with him in doubles to win that title. In the same week but at a different tournament, Llodra beat Benneteau (this was early in 2010) in the finals, then paired with him to win the doubles title. Benneteau had this misfortune of reaching something like 10 ATP finals and never winning a singles title. He was a good doubles player, however.
While Querrey may not have thought much of the Olympics, because the pros did play and were quite famous relative to most athletes, I think other competitors were happy to see them, a bit like the Dream Team, possibly more so because of tennis is more international. Players do want to win the gold. Andy Murray won it twice and felt like it saved his year in 2012 when he lost to Federer at Wimbledon. The Olympics rank behind the Slams, but it's probably bigger than the rest. The only downside is the number of participants is smaller and it runs in about 8 days, and countries have a limited number of participants so they can open it to competitors from more countries. In the 1990s, people mostly ignored the Olympics, though Agassi really wanted to win it because his dad was in the Olympics. I think the players also enjoy the Olympic experience, especially the opening ceremony.
Great insight!
Sam not knowing who Fonseca is hurts my heart
