LONDON -- One match after a stunning victory over two-time reigning champion Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, there was no letdown for Sam Querrey.And Querrey was all too aware people might have wondered whether he could follow that up with another strong performance.If I didnt win, there would have been a lot of, `Wow, it was kind of a fluky match against Novak, because you didnt back it up, Querrey said. I feel like I did a really good job of putting my head down and playing really well today.Using his strong serve to produce 23 aces and getting broken only once, the 41st-ranked Querrey eliminated Frances Nicolas Mahut 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-4 on Monday at the All England Club to reach the first Grand Slam quarterfinal of his career.Another significant statistic attached to this Fourth of July victory for Querrey: He is the first American man to make it to the final eight at any major tournament since 2011, when Andy Roddick and John Isner lost at that stage of the U.S. Open.That year was also the last time a man from the country, Mardy Fish, was a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon.Heady stuff for Querrey, a 28-year-old Californian who is so laid-back on the court that he absentmindedly flips or twirls his racket while waiting to receive serve.It must be natural, Querrey said, because I didnt really know I did it.After ending the No. 1-ranked Djokovics 30-match Grand Slam winning streak in the third round, Querrey acknowledged, Im sure theres been times where Ive been much too casual and relaxed and Ive lost a lot of matches.That cool demeanor is serving Querrey well this fortnight, though.I havent felt many nerves yet this week. I think Im kind of over that almost, he said. Hopefully will just kind of play freely and have fun and play big and hopefully get another win.To reach the semifinals, Querrey will need to get past No. 6 seeded Milos Raonic of Canada. Raonic constructed the first comeback from a two-set deficit in his career Monday, beating No. 11 David Goffin of Belgium 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.Querrey holds a 2-1 head-to-head edge over Raonic, a two-time major semifinalist, including at Wimbledon in 2014.One thing Querrey does not seem to want to do is put his monumental upset of Djokovic out of his mind.Im not going to lie: After the Novak match, I watched every highlight I could over and over, Querrey said.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

RENTON, Wash. -- Richard Sherman felt good enough on Wednesday to break out his Halloween costume a little early, donning a cape, grabbing a wand, and presenting a very authentic Harry Potter look.It was a drastic difference from late Sunday night and into Monday morning when Sherman was suffering from dehydration and fatigue on the flight back to Seattle after being on the field for nearly 100 plays and more than 46 minutes of game time in the Seahawks 6-6 tie with the Arizona Cardinals.Five quarters of football is pretty tough. But Quidditch -- the Beaters, the Chasers, trying to find the Golden Snitch -- is tough, Sherman said Wednesday. Five quarters of football, though, in that element, that takes the cake.In all seriousness, Sundays tie with Arizona left the Seahawks defenders exhausted. Never before had a Seattle defense been on the field longer and the effects were notable.Between special teams and defense, strong safety Kelcie McCray was on the field for 108 plays, the most of any player in the NFL this season. Linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright were on the field for 102 total plays. Sherman and Earl Thomas played 99 plays and DeShawn Shead was in for all 95 defensive snaps.It was an exhausting experience and three days later those involved were still trying to recover.I didnt know how much it was but I did know it was a long time, McCray said.Arizona held the ball for 46 minutes, 21 seconds Sunday. According to the Seahawks, that was the 11th-highest total for any regular-season game since time of possession was first tracked in 1977. Sherman wasnt the only one who needed IV fluids. Wagner left at one point during the game to get fluids in the locker room and missed only one play.Sherman seemed to have the most side effects from the game, being told afterward he was suffering effects of heat exhaustion. Sherman said it wasnt until Tuesday night that he started to feel normal again.They said I had a fever, but I had the shivers. It was bad, bad stufff, Sherman said.dddddddddddd Probably around the third quarter, third quarter my legs started locking up. After a while you just kind of deal with it. Got to finish the game.Shermans body seemed to fail him on one play in particular in overtime where he attempted to undercut a throw for J.J. Nelson but couldnt get any push from his legs to break up the play. Nelson caught the pass and if not for McCrays effort to tackle him inside the 5, the game would have been over.At first I thought it was going to be a touchdown. I was like `this guy is about to score, game over. I just ran as fast as I (could) and gave everything I could to get him down, McCray said.Coach Pete Carroll revamped his Monday schedule to give players a few extra hours of sleep and some of the key contributors were expected to get a lighter amount of practice time this week in preparation for a long road trip to New Orleans.Right from the beginning leaving the locker room, we were talking making sure that throughout the next couple days that rest is really important, eating properly and getting everything all balanced back again, Carroll said. Weve been all over that. That kicks us really back to today, were in pretty normal mode, but were still accounting for those guys that had the big workloads and were going to take that into account as we measure the reps during the course of the week.Game notes Seattle is still unsure who will start at left tackle. Bradley Sowell suffered an MCL sprain in his right knee on Sunday but was trying to convince Carroll and the training staff he could play. Rookie George Fant, rookie Rees Odhiambo and veteran JMarcus Webb are the likely candidates if Sowell is held out. ... Seattle released veteran RB C.J. Spiller and signed FB Will Tukuafu on Wednesday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
