Djokovic lost the first two sets 7-6 (6), 6-1 on Friday before rain suspended play on No. 1 Court. When they resumed on Saturday morning, Djokovic won the first five games. But Querrey won the next three before Djokovic held serve to take the set.

Serena Williams and Viktor Troicki each have been fined $10,000 at Wimbledon for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The penalties were announced on Saturday at the Grand Slam tournament, where the biggest amount deducted from a player's paycheck so far is the $12,000 for Britain's Heather Watson, also for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The No. 1-seeded Williams' fine was from her second-round victory on Friday. She smashed her racket repeatedly against the turf while sitting in her sideline chair after dropping the first set against Christina McHale, then flung the piece of equipment so far behind her that it landed in the lap of a TV cameraman.
Troicki, a Serb seeded 25th, was punished for his tirade against the chair umpire at the end of a five-set loss on Thursday.

Wimbledon organizers say they will sell 10,000 unreserved tickets for Sunday's play on Centre Court at the All England Club, and 8,000 for No. 1 Court.
There will be matches at Wimbledon on the middle Sunday for only the fourth time in the tournament's 139-year history because of rain delays all week.
Wimbledon says all tickets will be available only online. Centre Court tickets will cost 70 pounds ($93), while No. 1 Court tickets will be 40 pounds ($53) and grounds passes will be 20 pounds ($27).
The only other times that tournament organizers opted to have play on the middle Sunday were 1991, 1997 and 2004. Each time, the occasion - dubbed ''People's Sunday'' - created a carnival-like atmosphere, with the normally staid grounds filled with rowdy fans who snapped up tickets they rarely get the opportunity to buy.

A day after saving a match point, Sloane Stephens quickly completed her match at Wimbledon and advanced to third round. She beat Mandy Minella of Luxembourg 3-6, 7-6 (6), 8-6.
The 18th-seeded American saved a match point in the second-set tiebreaker on Friday, but the match was then suspended by rain with the score tied at 3-3 in the third set.
Also, 11th-seeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland beat Monica Niculescu of Romania 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 in another second-round match that was suspended by rain. Bacsinszky had been trailing 1-0 in the third set, but won all six games played on Saturday.
In the men's tournament, ninth-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia completed his match by beating Lukas Lacko of Slovakia 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. Cilic was trailing 1-0 in the third set when the match resumed on Saturday.

High noon comes for Novak Djokovic when he resumes his third-round match at Wimbledon two sets down against Sam Querrey of the United States on Saturday.
Querrey leads 7-6 (6), 6-1 after their match was one of eight suspended overnight because of rain.
He threatens to end Djokovic's bid for a true Grand Slam. Djokovic has won the past four major titles, but no man has won them all in the same year since Rod Laver in 1969.
Also in action Saturday is 2013 Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who will try to join Roger Federer in the fourth round.
There are also three Wimbledon women's runners-up on the schedule: Agnieszka Radwanska, Sabine Lisicki, and Eugenie Bouchard.
