GOOD SHOW:Sam Querrey shocked Andy Roddick in the Regions Morgan Keegan championship tennis tournament in Memphis on Friday.

MEMPHIS: Eighth-seeded Sam Querrey upset top-seeded Andy Roddick 7-5, 3-6, 6-1 to book a semifinal berth on Friday as top seed Maria Sharapova moved into the women's final at this combined ATP/WTA tennis tournament.

Querrey, who lost to Roddick in the San Jose semifinals last week despite never facing a break point, poured it on in the third set to notch his best result in Memphis.

Roddick's double-fault in the second game of the third set gave Querrey the upper hand, and Querrey made the most of it.

Sharapova in final

Russia's Sharapova advanced to the final in cue with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over fifth-seeded Czech Petra Kvitova. She'll face Sweden's Sofia Arvidsson, a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 winner over Britain's Anne Keothavong.

At Marseille, unseeded Frenchman Michael Llodra pulled off an upset at the ATP Open 13 tournament when he beat top seed and World No. 8 Sweden's Robin Soderling, 7-6(2), 6-4.
