John Millman has been edged out of Wimbledon in heartbreaking fashion, going down 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (10-8) 6-3 to huge-serving American Sam Querrey.
Querrey hurled down 27 aces against the battling Millman, who was backed by a noisy and partisan Australian following who managed to enrage the former world No.11 during a tense second-set tiebreak.
“You can cheer but don’t be a jerk,” Querrey told a fan sitting on the sidelines of the intimate Court 17 who questioned the American’s conditioning.
“Come on, Sam. You’ve got no cardio,” the heckler said.
Millman made a great start to the match when he broke Querrey to take a 3-1 lead but immediately surrendered that initiative in the next game where he was broken to love.
He then doubled-faulted in the tiebreak to hand Querrey the decisive mini-break and the Californian closed out the set.
The second set was another close affair and Millman had two set points only for Querrey to find a big serve just when he needed to and to take a two-set lead.
Querrey then grabbed the early break in the third set and closed out the win on his second match point in just under two hours to reach the round of 16 at Wimbledon for the fourth time.
The defeat means Millman has not passed the third round in five visits to the All England Club.
Ash Barty is playing on centre court Saturday night, taking on British wildcard Harriet Dart in a bid to make the round of 16 having not dropped a set in nine matches since the French Open semi-finals.
