SAM QUERREY (USA)
|
The Campbell’s Hall of Fame Championships last year launched Sam Querrey’s own “Summer of Sam.” In his second time playing at Newport, Querrey reached the final and went on to be a finalist in his next two events. That made him the first American in five years to reach at least three consecutive title matches, and Querrey claimed the championship at Los Angeles to end the streak on a high. Four weeks later, he was runner-up at New Haven. Querrey has been almost as hot in 2010. He was the first player this season to achieve a surface sweep, winning titles on hard courts at Memphis in February, on clay at Belgrade in May and, last month, on grass at Queen’s Club. Querrey captured those championships against his partners for his two 2010 doubles crowns, Mardy Fish and John Isner, the 2008 Hall of Fame Championships doubles titlists. |

Campbell’s Hall of Fame Championships newcomer Santiago Giraldo is one of the new faces on the ATP World Tour.He made his tour debut in 2007, but until this season, he had played very few tour-level events beyond Davis Cup. Indeed, Giraldo has competed in as many ATP events and Grand Slam tournaments this year as he did the past two seasons combined. He broke into the Top 100 for the first time in January, after advancing to his first ATP quarterfinal at Chennai—where he made his tour debut three years ago. He cracked the Top 60 in May, after upsetting former No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero at the the Italian Open. Giraldo is a fixture on Colombia’s Davis Cup team. In September, Giraldo and Colombia will host the United States for a place in next year’s Davis Cup World Group. | -1st appearance |
|
ALEJANDRO FALLA (COL)
|
A qualifier last year in his Campbell’s Hall of Fame Championships debut, Alejandro Falla has improved his ranking some 100 places in the 12 months since. Most of that improvement is attributable to his three challenger titles last season, but his rise also includes a career-best Grand Slam tournament result this year at the Australian Open, where he became the first Colombian man to reach the third round in a major championship event since Mauricio Hadad at the 1996 Australian Open. Falla, whose triumph against then-No. 6 Nikolay Davydenko at Wimbledon in 2006 was the first Top 10 win by a Colombian man, is one of his nation’s leading Davis Cup players. He shares the national record for team doubles victories and is Top 5 in singles wins, with a chance to improve his stature in September when Colombia faces the United States. | -2nd appearance |
|
OLIVIER ROCHUS (BEL)
|
A semifinalist last year in his Campbell’s Hall of Fame Championships debut, Olivier Rochus excels on grass. He was the Wimbledon boys’ doubles champion with Roger Federer in 1998, and in three of his first four years in men’s singles at Wimbledon, Rochus defeated Top 10 players. In addition to reaching the final four last season at the Hall of Fame Championships, Rochus was a semifinalist on grass at Halle one month prior. Those two results, combined with his runner-up finish at Stockholm last October, helped Rochus to his fourth year-end Top 60 finish in the past five seasons, signaling a complete recovery from the right shoulder surgery that ended his 2008 season. Rochus, a two-time ATP singles titlist and 2004 French Open doubles winner, added to his legend as a giant killer this year when he defeated then-No. 2 Novak Djokovic in the second round at Miami. |

MARDY FISH (USA)
|
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Mardy Fish’s Campbell’s Hall of Fame Tennis Championships debut as an 18-year-old rookie pro. He reached the quarterfinals in his 2000 coming out and has been a quarterfinalist twice since (2002, 2006). Fish, who has three career singles titles, played a huge role in the outcome of last year’s event. Defending champion in doubles, he was poised to become the first top seed to win the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, but he had to withdraw on Day One because he was called into action for Davis Cup. (Rajeev Ram replaced Fish in the draw and went on to take the title.) One of two men to finish ’09 in the Top 60 of singles and the doubles Top 20, Fish this year has advanced to the final at Queen’s Club, the semis at Sydney and Delray Beach, and won doubles at San Jose. | - 2008 Doubles Champion

KAROL BECK (SVK)
|
With his Campbell’s Hall of Fame Championships debut, Karol Beck is competing in only his fifth ATP World Tour Event of 2010, not including Grand Slam tournament play at the French Open and Wimbledon. Beck, who was out of the game for two years from November 2005 through October 2007, has been lighting up the ITF Men’s Circuit this year, climbing higher into the Top 100 while working toward the career-best No. 36 ranking he held in 2005. During a four-week period earlier this season, Beck constructed a 14-match winning streak, taking challenger titles in Italy and Serbia before a pulled muscle forced him to retire while leading a final in Bosnia & Herzegovina. His ranking jumped 50 places with those results. |

RAJEEV RAM (USA)
|
Winning the Campbell’s Hall of Fame Championships last year made Rajeev Ram a marvel. He was the first man to sweep the tournament singles and doubles titles since Dan Goldie in 1987 and one of only three players to claim a tournament sweep on the ATP World Tour all season. At No.181 at the time of his triumph, Ram was the lowest-ranked player to capture an ATP singles crown in 2009 and the only lucky loser to do so. Ram also became the first past recipient of the Bill Talbert Junior Sportsmanship Award, an honor presented by the International Tennis Hall of Fame board, to win the tournament. Boosted by his success in Newport, Ram finished 2009 ranked No. 7 in the nation and No. 79 in the world. He was a quarterfinalist at Johannesburg in February. | -2009 Singles and Doubles champion |

TAYLOR DENT (USA)
|
Taylor Dent captured his first ATP World Tour title at the Campbell’s Hall of Fame Championships in 2002. That triumph made Dent and his dad, three-time tour winner Phil Dent, the first father-son duo to win ATP crowns in the Open Era. In 2008, the Hall of Fame Championships were Taylor’s first ATP event in 28 months, signaling his return from a career-threatening back injury and three surgeries. Dent, who rose to No. 21 in the world in 2005,was a nominee for ATP Comeback Player of the Year last season, posting results that vaulted him from No. 865 at the beginning of the year to No. 76 in the final rankings. |

Earlier this year, Russell reached the quarterfinals at San Jose, his first time ever to the final eight of an ATP event.
