Four hours and 28 minutes later, when Wawrinka chipped-and-charged on the second match point on Querrey’s serve and punched home a backhand volley winner, the court was engulfed in shadow and no American remained.
Wawrinka, the No. 25 seed from Switzerland, ousted No. 20 Querrey, 7-6 (9), 6-7 (5), 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 to advance to his first-ever Grand Slam quarterfinal.
