Written by  Kirk Stenvall
Sam Querrey at Cal Poly San Luis ObispoComing off his most successful season as a professional player, Sam Querrey hosted a free tennis clinic and exhibition at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California on Saturday, November 8, 2008.

The free event, sponsored by Tennis Warehouse, Prince, and Cal Poly Tennis, drew young and old alike to learn from the number 41-ranked male ATP singles player. Some attendees were even brave enough to try and return his rocket-like serve. Following the clinic, Sam played several exhibition matches with members of the Cal Poly tennis team.

Sam Querrey was born in San Francisco and currently resides in Thousand Oaks, California. As a junior, Sam played with several current Cal Poly male and female tennis players, and is close friends with Cal Poly football player, Jon Hall. “Sam is by far the most promising young, up-and-coming male or female tennis player in the United States,” said Cal Poly Women’s Tennis Head Coach Hugh Bream.
