I watched the whole Isner match. Sorensen easily could have won the 2nd and the third, and obviously if he had pulled out the second the match would have pretty much over.

Isner was barely moving for the entire last set and a half, but he came up with some absolutely shocking serves and forehands at the big moments.

not much to say about Murray and Monfils' performances, except that another Isner-Monfils match will be good.

Hopefully Gael will beat Isner. Gael played atrociously against Isner the last time they met at IW 09, and I remember I was so pissed off by him. Despite being a better player than Isner, he chose to run and run and allowed Isner to push him further and further away from the baseline. It was a shameful performance by Gael then, not even bother to change his game plan and adjust his position.

hope murray humiliates that useless basketball player isner.

well, 61 unforced errors in a 3 set match is not a good sign for Isner. I'm not sure I expect much out of him in the Monfils match anyway.

i highly doubt Murray will even play Isner

alex: rushed home after work and watched Andy's replay! Hooray for the BBC. Apart from the usual lapses of concentration, I thought Andy played well. His percentage first serve was way up and he was volleying! He's such a good volleyer I wonder why he doesn't do it more often. I also thought he was more aggressive on his forehand. Come on!
Ricky??

It's OK Ricky, I've just read chery's comment and assume yours follows.

what?

deuce - yes, a bit more encouraging today against a much tougher opponent. It's like muzz raises his game when he needs to. Like you say, it's great to see more net play, volleying and pacey, penetrating forehands, and not nearly so many of those non-descript mid-court high bouncers that invite his opponent to have a go at him. I know it's early days but I'd like to see his lobs (normally one of his best shots) working better. I've only seen one good one so far. I mean, muzz is a guy capable of repeatedly lobbing Karlovic, so hopefully there'll be a bit more in that department.

Calling alex for our everyotherdayupdate! To me Andy is looking fitter and better than I've seen him look for ages and ages. Two most glorious shots against Florent up far 2 early again! Am glad he's got Isner next. I absoluttely love monfils, he's so unpredictable and dangerous and I didn't want him on fire against Andy. Isner is tough but his game is predictable. Andy in 4. Come on!
BTW what on earth happened to Cleisters? Cheering 4 Henin now.
BTW

I'm happy with his willingness to hit a winner. The only thing makes me worry is his serve. During the first set, I try to contain myself not to yelling:"Andy, can you just put the bloody first serve in." Can he find his rhythm soon?

I'm watching Nadal right now. This game is awful and it makes me more confident in Andy if he can make it through.

So much for "attacking tennis rules," right?

Murray jerks his body way too much with those massive sprints and running, he may find himself injured.

I think Isner has a shot, just needs to be aggressive from the baseline, keep his serve and when on the net just watch for the cross court shots.
