New York -- Sam Querrey, the final American in the men's U.S. Open singles, fell to Stanislas Wawrinka Tuesday in a 4 1/2-hour fourth-round match.
The 25th-seeded Wawrinka outlasted Querrey 7-6, 6-7, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, in a back-and-forth epic. The Swiss, who beat No. 4 Andy Murray in the third round, broke Querrey's serve in the final game to move into the quarterfinals.
Querrey's defeat ensured that no Americans would make the U.S. Open men's quarterfinals for the second straight year. That had never happened in the open era prior to 2009.
Women's player Venus Williams remained the only American in singles competition after Querrey's defeat.

Los Angeles -- Sam Querrey repeated as Farmers Classic champion Sunday, downing top-seeded Andy Murray 5-7, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3 in Los Angeles.

Querrey earned his sixth career title and improved to 4-1 in title matches.

Los Angeles -- Defending champion Sam Querrey will go against top-seeded Andy Murray for a $112,000 paycheck Sunday in the Farmers Classic title match.
In the semifinals Saturday, Querrey, the second-seeded American, lost his first set to sixth-seeded Serbian Janko Tipsarevic 6-7 (3-7) and had to fend off a match point in the 10th game of the second set before forcing a second tie-breaker.
Tipsarevic went up 5-1 before Querrey answered with six straight points to take the middle set 7-6 (7-5).
The Serb refused to go quietly, however, taking a 3-1 lead in the deciding set before Querrey took control and forged a 6-4 win.
