WIMBLEDON -- It was a squirrely day all the way around at the All England Club. There were five rain delays on this chilly Friday and the favorites struggled to find their rhythms.No. 4 seed Stan Wawrinka was shocked by unseeded Juan Martin del Potro in the first match on Centre Court, while Serena and Venus Williams both were extended to three sets before winning. Venus was fortunate to escape with a 10-8 final frame.Surely, No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic would restore order to the proceedings when he met American Sam Querrey on Court No. 1. The match was lit beautifully, as the sun came out in earnest around dinner time. We should have known it was going to be a movie with an implausible plot.Querrey, who was intent on fashioning the greatest upset of his career, was virtually unconscious for the 73 minutes he battled Djokovic. He was leading 7-6 (6), 6-1 when the rains came again.It was a stroke of luck for Djokovic, who lost the second set in a scant 22 minutes and seemed headed for a swift defeat. Now, he gets a desperately needed reprieve and a fresh start Saturday, weather permitting.Sleep will not likely come easily for the 28-year-old Querrey.Suddenly, at risk were Djokovics:Streak of 30 consecutive Grand Slam match victoriesFifth consecutive Grand Slam titleOpportunity for a calendar-year SlamOn the surface, Querrey seemed an unlikely candidate to create drama. He had lost eight of nine previous matches against Djokovic. And the ATP World Tours No. 41-ranked player had a middling 9-8 record on the grass at the All England Club.Querrey became the first American to take a set from Djokovic at a Grand Slam tournament since Paul Goldstein at the 2006 Australian Open.His statistic line was extraordinarily clean.Querrey hit nine aces against zero double faults and won all 10 of his service games.The first-set tiebreaker captured the wild oddity of this incomplete result.Querrey, energized, moved beautifully, largely dictating the points. Djokovic looked tired and a bit out of sorts, constantly casting his eyes toward his team. An errant backhand gave Querrey a 4-2 lead and, after the two switched sides, another bad backhand gave Querrey a 5-2 margin.Djokovic reeled him in and leveled it at 6-all, but Querrey closed the deal, converting his third set point.The second set saw Djokovic looking completely miserable. Querrey won 25 of the 40 points.He couldnt have been happy when the rain returned. Not long after the players left the court, the match was officially suspended until Saturday.In that span of Djokovics 30 straight Slam wins, there were only two near-misses, one of them his dramatic comeback from two sets down a year ago here to Kevin Anderson in the fourth round.Thats the template that Djokovic and coach Boris Becker will attempt to replicate. Djokovic has come back four times from 0-2 down, most recently against Anderson.Querrey is 20-1 in his career when leading by two frames and needs to win just one of three potential sets.Sweet dreams, Sam.Romelu Lukaku Jersey . After slipping from the summit during the week, the Gunners overcame struggling Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains second-half brace. Yannick Carrasco Jersey . Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2. http://www.belgiumsoccerpro.com/Axel-Witsel-Belgium-Jersey/ . Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. Mousa Dembele Jersey . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning. Kevin De Bruyne Belgium Jersey . Spiller left Week 3s 27-20 loss to the New York Jets with a thigh injury, but fully practiced with the team all week and expects to be ready to go on Sunday.The PGA Tour returns this week with a trip to Napa, Calif. and the Safeway Open. While Tiger Woods late withdrawal from the tournament is a bummer for golf enthusiasts, there are plenty of other intriguing golfers in this weeks field.Our experts have put together the players they believe have the skills to succeed and provide big fantasy point totals. This weeks panel is comprised of Michael Collins, Jason Sobel and Bob Harig as well as FantasyGolfInsiders Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin.Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.Michael Collins -- Jon Rahm ($10,200)In 9 starts last season he missed one cut and only finished outside the top 25 twice in the eight cuts he made. He has big game and the quiet confidence of a guy who knows he can be one of the elite. Expect this week to be the beginning of a breakout season.Jason Sobel -- Patrick Rodgers ($7,400)All those NorCal fans who shelled out some cash for tickets to see their beloved Stanford product this week will consider it money well spent when Rodgers, who shares the Cardinal all-time win record with Maverick McNealy and some guy named Tiger, grabs his first career PGA Tour title.Bob Harig -- Paul Casey ($11,600)The Englishman didnt win during the 2015-16 season but he nonetheless was one of the Tours hottest players toward the end, contending for the FedEx Cup title despite no victories. Expect his good form to carry over to the first event of the new season.Taras Pitra -- Charles Howell III ($7,600)Howells surgery kept him out of action for a huge chunk of the season last year and there was some obvious rust that needed to be knocked off when he came back. Fast forward to this week and CH3 has had two months to get back to 100 percent and work on his game while everyone else was participating in the FEC & Ryder Cup. Howell, likke Henley, is known as an early season horse and I expect more of the same from him this year (barring any setbacks)Jeff Bergerson -- Wesley Bryan ($7,900)We saw Bryan several times on the PGA Tour last season and he performed relatively well with three made cuts in four events, including a T8 at The John Deere Classic.dddddddddddd. However, three of those weeks he was priced in the $9,000 price range. This week he has a meager price tag. Coming off a season on the Web.com tour that featured seven Top 10s in 15 events played, including three wins, he is clearly a top-line talent. Bryan should fit well into your cash games and GPP rosters alike.Zach Turcotte -- Hudson Swafford ($7,800)Swafford was a model of consistency over the last 4-5 months of the PGA season, making the cut in his final 12 starts. He is solid off the tee and with his putter. He is also particularly good with his mid to long range irons which puts him in position to drain a lot of birdies, especially on par 5 holes where he is one of the better players on Tour. Swafford has a tendency to let one or two bad holes ruin an entire round, but if he can stay focused, he will take yet another step forward in his development as a player this season.Jason Rouslin -- Grayson Murray ($7,500)Second on last years Web.com money list behind Bryan and first during the Web.com finals series -- as well as teammate of another ASU Sun Devil that has already made big noise on tour, Jon Rahm -- Murray makes his first start as a rookie on Tour. The course seems to set up well for him as he his long off the tee (ranked 4th in distance on the Web.com) and subsequently led the Tour in par 5 scoring. Look for him to make a splash in his rookie debut. ' ' '
