If Isner is ever going to make a deep run in a GS event, he has to take advantage of this opportunity. He's the top seed left in his quarter of the draw on home soil. Admittedly I don't follow the sport closely enough to know how his game matches up against his potential opponents.

Yep this is a perfect chance and probably his final chance to make a QF/SF run

I have him losing in the 3rd round to Mischa Zverev.

Isner has a tendency to make any match difficult.

He can look good at times, then lose to Dudi Sela.

Zverev is overrated! Losing to Chorich. Tiafoe surprised me.

He had been playing well lately too. Oh well. One less problem for grown up Fed.

Fed has his hands full with Youzhny. Even at a set apiece and Fed down a break in the 3rd. I'm guessing Fed's back isn't right.

Roger needing to play 10 sets to make it to round 3 at a GS. Almost certain that never happened before

Come on. Cut the old man some slacks. He needs to pace himself with his injury. He is still hanging in there. He doesn't need to go all out in the early stages only to flame out. It is his experience and unparalleled skills that is allowing him to survive so far.

Hoping Fed loosens up and maybe gets an easier win in round 3 because 4 on will all be tough.

Cilic out today. He had a decent shot at the final before getting bounced.

What's the record for someone winning a major and playing the most 5 setters in that tourney?

At some point, someone's going to win a major by playing 7 5 setters, right?
