Sam Querrey will miss the United States’ first-round Davis Cup matches against Chile because of a right rotator cuff injury. U.S. Captain Jim Courier said Monday the right-handed Querrey had an MRI last week on his shoulder and was told by doctors to rest. Querrey is currently ranked 24th in the ATP rankings.
“Sam has been having trouble with his right shoulder and he got an MRI on Friday that revealed a slight impingement in his rotator cuff," said U.S Captain Courier. "The doctors have advised him to rest, so we thought it was best that he not make the trip to Santiago and get ready for Indian Wells and Miami.”
Number eight Andy Roddick, number 32 John Isner and the top-ranked doubles team of twins Bob & Mike Bryan will represent the U.S. against Chile on an outdoor clay court at Santiago from Friday through Sunday.
