But Van Barneveld fittingly had the final word as he hit double eight to claim a 6-6 draw, which dealt a major blow to Wrights hopes of reaching the top four.The Barney Army song has never sounded as good as here and it was probably the best moment in my career to be honoured like this, said the five-time world champion.Im disappointed that Ive not made the play-offs but Im really proud to finish the season in this way.

Many more people know who he is now after that upset and a subsequent trip to the Wimbledon quarterfinals.I got to do `Good morning America, I got to throw the first pitch out at the Dodger game, I got to do a GQ photo shoot, Querrey said Monday. Thats usually not my normal week.Querrey took some time off and now hopes to build off the Djokovic victory this week in Washington and at other events this summer. The 28-year-old picked up some confidence along the way but doesnt feel like a different player.It was an incredible 10 days for me and something Ill always remember, said Querrey, whos now ranked 29th in the world. I still view myself as a good player. I thought I was good before the match. I think Im still a good player now.Querrey beat Djokovic in a five-set thriller, then dispatched Nicolas Mahut in straight sets before losing to Milos Raonic in the quarterfinals. The only players left on his wish list are Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, but his giant-killing reputation preceded him when he was asked if theres any other player hed like to beat.I mean Id love to beat every player, Querrey said. If I get to play Roger or Rafa, those are kind of the two big-name guys that Ive never beat, thatd be incredible. But well see if that happens.Querrey wonnt see those players this week at the Citi Open, which features American John Isner and Frenchman Gael Monfils as the top two seeds.dddddddddddd The eighth-seeded American will face either Bjorn Fratangelo or qualifier Alex Kuznetsov in his first match, and his summer goal is to get back into the top 20.On the womens side of the tournament, Australian Samatha Stosur is the top seed and easily took care of qualifier Alla Kudryavtseva 6-3, 6-0 in her opening match Monday. With the conditions as hot and humid as Querrey said he has ever experienced, Stosur calmly advanced without much difficulty.The start was a little bit close and then once I got that first break of serve, then I really was able to loosen up and play well and maybe she got a little bit deflated as well, Stosur said.Defending champion Sloane Stephens is the No. 2 seed and opens against Japans Risa Ozaki. She said it feels normal to be back but has felt a noticeable boost from winning a tournament.Its kind of just been a weight lifted, Stephens said. I think it was kind of a relief that I kind of got that out of the way.Likewise, Querrey made a name for himself at Wimbledon but may have created some higher expectations for himself in the process.Im trying to kind of put it behind me and move on, Querrey said. I just want to kind of continue on with the momentum and keep working and focusing on my ranking and moving in the right direction. ' ' '
