Wimbledon: Andy Murray sent packing by Sam Querrey

Defending champion, Andy Murray have been sent home in Wimbledon quarter-finals by American Sam Querrey.

Querrey, 29, won 3-6 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 6-1 6-1 to become the first American man to reach a Grand Slam semi-final since Andy Roddick at Wimbledon in 2009.

Murray, 30, led by a set and a break but the Briton lost 12 of the last 14 games as he struggled physically.

The defeat means Novak Djokovic could overtake Murray as world number one.

Second seed Djokovic, who plays Tomas Berdych later on Wednesday, needs to win the title to return to the top of the rankings.
