WASHINGTON -- The player who beat Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon is ready to get back on the court. Karl Alzner Jersey .Sam Querrey has been on the ATP Tour for a decade, but he arrived at the Citi Open with an entirely different level of celebrity after knocking off the No. 1-ranked player in the world. Many more people know who he is now after that upset and a subsequent trip to the Wimbledon quarterfinals.I got to do `Good morning America, I got to throw the first pitch out at the Dodger game, I got to do a GQ photo shoot, Querrey said Monday. Thats usually not my normal week.Querrey took some time off and now hopes to build off the Djokovic victory this week in Washington and at other events this summer. The 28-year-old picked up some confidence along the way but doesnt feel like a different player.It was an incredible 10 days for me and something Ill always remember, said Querrey, whos now ranked 29th in the world. I still view myself as a good player. I thought I was good before the match. I think Im still a good player now.Querrey beat Djokovic in a five-set thriller, then dispatched Nicolas Mahut in straight sets before losing to Milos Raonic in the quarterfinals. The only players left on his wish list are Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, but his giant-killing reputation preceded him when he was asked if theres any other player hed like to beat.I mean Id love to beat every player, Querrey said. If I get to play Roger or Rafa, those are kind of the two big-name guys that Ive never beat, thatd be incredible. But well see if that happens.Querrey wont see those players this week at the Citi Open, which features American John Isner and Frenchman Gael Monfils as the top two seeds. The eighth-seeded American will face either Bjorn Fratangelo or qualifier Alex Kuznetsov in his first match, and his summer goal is to get back into the top 20.On the womens side of the tournament, Australian Samatha Stosur is the top seed and easily took care of qualifier Alla Kudryavtseva 6-3, 6-0 in her opening match Monday. With the conditions as hot and humid as Querrey said he has ever experienced, Stosur calmly advanced without much difficulty.The start was a little bit close and then once I got that first break of serve, then I really was able to loosen up and play well and maybe she got a little bit deflated as well, Stosur said.Defending champion Sloane Stephens is the No. 2 seed and opens against Japans Risa Ozaki. She said it feels normal to be back but has felt a noticeable boost from winning a tournament.Its kind of just been a weight lifted, Stephens said. I think it was kind of a relief that I kind of got that out of the way.Likewise, Querrey made a name for himself at Wimbledon but may have created some higher expectations for himself in the process.Im trying to kind of put it behind me and move on, Querrey said. I just want to kind of continue on with the momentum and keep working and focusing on my ranking and moving in the right direction. Alex Galchenyuk Jersey . Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. Brandon Davidson Jersey . Note: The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday that Sean Monahan would not be made available to Canadas World Junior team. http://www.canadiensauthority.com/authen...nadiens-jersey/ .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. Virat Kohlis rapid and sustained rise over the last few years has brought inevitable comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar. In less than a decade since making his ODI debut, Kohli has marked himself out by acing the chasing game. He has numbers to go with it: 14 hundreds in successful chases, already level with Tendulkar. Kohli has batted in 59 successful chases, Tendulkar did so in 124.As with Tendulkar, Kohlis dismissals are greeted with gasps of resignation. When Kohli got out in Delhi and Ranchi, for 9 and 45 respectively, there was that sudden, piercing silence again, one that most Indian cricket fans who grew up in the 90s would be familiar with. The immediate throwaway line has been: its just like Tendulkar, Kohli gone, India lose. Especially in chases; in 2015, for instance, Kohli scored less than 12 in four of the five ODIs India lost chasing. Is it then a throwback to the era when Tendulkars failure would inevitably result in Indias defeat or is it just an emotional reaction?There is no doubt India win much more often when Kohli scores a fifty or more in a chase. While chasing 200 or more, India have won 23 of 32 games when Kohli has completed his half-century. When Kohli hasnt reached fifty, India have managed only 20 wins from 44 chases of over 200. In those 20 chases that were won without a big contribution from Kohli, there were 36 scores of 50 or more from other specialist batsmen. Rohit Sharma has scored seven of those.MS Dhoni, too, doesnt believe India is a one-batsman team, and isnt inclined to read too much into the numbers thrown up because the sample is not large enough for him. If you see the last one, one-and-a-half years, we havent played a lot of ODI cricket, he said after India lost to New Zealand by 19 runs in Ranchi. I can say that the stats actually dont reflect the exact scenario because also at that period I have batted at a different position and our top order was batting brilliantly.The numbers largely appear to corroborate Dhonis view. In all ODIs where India have chased since 2014, they have won five games and lost as many when Kohli has scored at least 50. He has scored two hundreds and three fifties in losing causes during this period. In the 17 games that Kohli has scored less than 50, Indiass record hasnt been too bad: they have won nine wins and lost eight. Jeff Petry Jersey. In the nine wins that came without Kohli making a half-century, Shikhar Dhawan has contributed a century and four half-centuries while Rohit Sharma has struck three fifties. The rest of the batsmen have chipped in with four hundreds and three fifties. Kohli has scored 25.76% (813 out of 3156) of Indias top-order runs in successful chases in ODIs since 2014. Dhawan is second on the list with 18.25%.These numbers reveal that despite Kohlis overwhelming contribution to Indias successful chases, the team hasnt been overly dependent on him. However, the numbers dont tell you what happens when India fail despite a Kohli century or fifty. What happens after he is gone?A good example of how Kohlis dismissal exposes a middle order that isnt well versed in finishing games came in Canberra at the start of the year. Set a target of 349, Kohli and Dhawan racked up hundreds. At 277 for 1 in the 38th over, India looked like they would complete the chase fairly easily, but once Kohli departed within two overs of the dismissals of Dhawan and Dhoni, Indias middle order unravelled, with only Ravindra Jadeja getting into double digits.Similarly in the Rajkot ODI against South Africa, Kohli batted deep but his departure, with 55 required off 29 balls, snuffed out Indias chase. When the Tendulkar-falls-India-lose era ended, India had match-winners following him: Rahul Dravid, Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh. That Dhoni is not finishing matches now, and that Indias two other match-winners in recent times - Rohit and Dhawan - bat before Kohli accentuates the Kohli-falls-India-lose impression.The numbers will tell you India are not over-dependent on Kohli - at least not yet - but the impression they are coincides with their struggle to find somebody who can make his own the slot vacated by Yuvraj. Not even Suresh Raina - good as he has been - has been able to provide that presence consistently. With Dhoni moving up to No.4, suggesting the youngsters need to learn finishing innings by themselves, Indias overreliance on Kohli may be more than just a feeling.
