Sport Sponsorship
Sam Querrey - Tennis Pro
BackOffice Associates® is proud to sponsor professional tennis player, Sam Querrey. Sam Querrey began playing tennis at the age of four-years-old when he was introduced to the game by his parents Mike and Chris Querrey. Originally from Thousand Oaks, California, Sam was a top junior player in the U.S. winning back-to-back junior hard court titles at USTA Spring Championships and Easter Bowl in April 2005. Sam also reached the quarterfinals at the Jr. US Open in 2004 and the Roland Garros in 2005 before deciding to turn pro in 2006.
From 2005-2007, Sam was a practice partner for the US Davis Cup Team before making his debut on the team in 2008 when the US faced Spain in the semifinals playing in Madrid, Spain. 2008 also proved to be Sam’s breakout year on the ATP World Tour, when Sam came out strong in January with a third round showing at the 2008 Australian Open. Following this, Sam also made the semifinals at Delray Beach before he earned his first ATP World Tour Singles Title at the Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas.
During the summer clay court season, Sam surprised many by beating Richard Gasquet in the Monte Carlo Masters event to earn a spot in the quarterfinals, but Sam's proudest week of the year came at the US Open where he played some of his best tennis. He won three tough matches advancing to the Round of 16, and then played a stellar match on Labor Day against Rafael Nadal losing in four sets.
After his breakout year in 2008. Sam followed things up in 2009 by advancing to the final in Auckland before the Australian Open in January. Later in the season, Sam reached the final of three consecutive events including the Campbell’s® International Hall of Fame in Rhode Island, the Indianapolis Tennis Championships in Indiana and the LA Tennis Open in California where Sam captured his second career singles title in front of his home crowd. Since then, Sam has improved to a career high ranking of #17 on the ATP World Singles Tour, which made him the fourth highest ranked American behind Andy Roddick, James Blake and Mardy Fish, and the youngest ranked player in the top 50.
Currently, Sam resides in Santa Monica, California, which is not too far from where he grew up and went to high school in Thousand Oaks with many of his friends who are now apart of his widely known “Samurai Club.” The Samurais have received a tremendous amount of attention from tennis fans and media since breaking onto the tennis scene with Sam, and in 2009 were provided a complimentary trip to Indianapolis by the tournament director. You can be sure to catch many of the Samurais at Sam’s upcoming tournaments who will be cheering Sam on as his continues to climb up the rankings on the Tour.
