Hewitt fights back to beat Querrey

Lleyton Hewitt is through to the quarter-finals at Queen's with a three-set victory over Sam Querrey.

The American looked on course for the win after winning the first set, but former Wimbledon champion Hewitt showed his experience to progress with a 5-7 6-3 6-4 triumph.

Querrey fired down 10 aces in going a set ahead, but Hewitt responded by saving five break point opportunities in the second, while taking his single chance to break his opponent's serve.

It was a similar story in the third, as Hewitt claimed the early advantage, and although Querrey missed chances to make it 5-5, the Australian hung on to move through to the last eight.
