June 11, 2013 | By Long Island Tennis Magazine Staff
Sixth seed Sam Querrey recorded his 200th match win after a 7-6(11), 5-7, 7-6(5) win over Aljaz Bedene to advance to the third round of the 2013 Aegon Championships in London. Querrey saved a match point in the third set before winning the second-round contest, which had four rain delays and took more than five hours to complete. Bedene fell hard while hitting a cross-court forehand winner to take the second-set tiebreaker. With no breaks of serve in the final set, Querrey saved a match point at 6-5 before winning the tie-breaker. Bedene was competing in just the second grass court match of his career.
Also at the Aegon Championships, 11th-seeded Julien Benneteau and Adrian Mannarino each hit seven aces, but Benneteau won the all-French battle 7-6(7), 6-3. Qualifier Samuel Groth hit 22 aces, but could not convert any of his four break point opportunities in a 6-7(7), 6-3, 6-2 loss to the number 12 seed Lukas Rosol, and the number 14 seed Denis Istomin defeated Andrey Kuznetsov 7-6(2), 7-6(3).
