Querrey, Ram upset at Hall of Fame

Querrey, ranked No. 19 in the world, succumbed to unseeded and 108th-ranked Jamaican Dustin Brown 6-4, 6-3 in the second round. Brown put the American away with 14 aces and three service breaks, and didn't allow the American a single break-point chance.

Ram took the first set against South African qualifier Raven Klaasen 7-5, but Klaasen rallied to eliminate the American by taking the next two sets 6-1, 7-6 (7-3).

Ram beat Querrey in last year's final.

American Mardy Fish, meanwhile, breezed into the quarterfinals on the Hall of Fame's grass courts with a victory over Somdev Devvarman. The fifth-seeded Fish dispatched the Indian 6-2, 6-0.

Fish will face Canadian Frank Dancevic in the quarterfinals. Dancevic beat Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 in the second round.

In other second-round play, Argentine Brian Dabul defeated Japan's Go Soeda 7-5, 6-2. He now meets Brown in the quarterfinals.

The $500,000 event will pay the winner $75,700.
