The 25-year old Ram, a lucky loser after top-seeded Mardy Fish withdrew on Monday replace Andy Roddick on the United States Davis Cup team, won the first all-American final on Newport's grass courts in seven years. It was his first ATP final.

The 21-year old Querrey played in his third final and was seeking his second tile. His only tour championship came in Las Vegas last year.
