John Isner wins a very tough match against Ryan Harrison.
The American giant found him self 2 sets down to easily win the 3rd and the 4th and then grab the decider 8-6.
From Isner
“What I did exceptionally well, more than serving, my forehand, everything else, was I just stayed composed and told myself, ‘If I’m going to lose, I’m going to want him to beat me and not beat myself.’ I got up pretty quick in that third set and he gave me some momentum. I really knew it was anybody’s match.
Just winning a five-set match is extremely satisfying, as I’d exited every Grand Slam last year in five sets, every single one.” said an elated Isner.
Next vs. Haas
Big Johny will play veteran Tommy Haas in the next round. head to head is 3-2 for Isner, but last time they played it was Haas to defeat him (this year in San Jose semifinal 6-3 6-4).
