And Querrey was on song again in his last-16 tie with Mahut, serving 23 aces in his convincing 6-4 7-6 6-4 win.
The No28 seed will now be seen as a real challenger for the title and could face Roger Federer in the semi-final.
Querry was broken just in the fourth game of the match by Mahut, but hit back to take the Frenchman's serve twice and claim the first set.
