The 6ft 6in Sam Querrey has rocketed more than 700 ranking places into
the top 100 since last year. The San Francisco native beat fellow
American Donald Young, 6-4, 6-4, in the first round. Donald, on the
right, bottom photo, claimed the Wimbledon Jr. crown earlier last month.
Photo 2: Defending champion Rik De Voest of South Africa failed in his attempt to win the tournament for a
second time as Niemeyer won the semifinal encounter, 6-1, 6-2. Rik,
however, won the heart of Hollyburn athletic
director Caroyn Devine. They became engaged last Christmas.

of Quebec, photo 5, 7-5, 6-1, to win the Women's Singles trophy.
