NEW YORK (AP)—Stanislas Wawrinka beat Sam Querrey in five sets to put two Swiss men in a Grand Slam quarterfinals for the first time in the Open era—and keep the Americans out of the U.S. Open quarters for the second straight year. Wawrinka won 7-6 (9), 6-7 (5), 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 on Tuesday to join a countryman whose presence this deep in a major tournament is just assumed: Roger Federer. Not so for Wawrinka. The 25-year-old had been 0-5 in the round of 16 at Grand Slams. “Roger, he’s always in quarterfinals since many years, so that’s not something different,” Wawrinka said. “But for me, it’s my first time, so it’s something important for my career.”
