Sam Querrey won an all-American final at the Queen's Club grass-court tournament on Sunday, edging Mardy Fish 7-6 (3), 7-5.
Querrey won his third title of the year, all on different surfaces -- he won in Memphis on hardcourt and in Belgrade on clay.
The match was the first all-American final at Queen's since Todd Martin defeated Pete Sampras in 1994. Querrey is the eighth American winner of the Wimbledon warm-up tournament.
"The conditions were pretty tough out there, the windiest day of the week so far," said Querrey, who hit 15 aces. "I just tried to stay level-headed and keep my composure, and fortunately I got through it.
"I didn't set a round [to reach], quarters or semis or anything like that. I just wanted to go out there, play with a good attitude, play level-headed and work on hitting my forehand inside out more than inside in, which I did a great job of all week."
