Isner bows out quickly after marathon match
Tennis Betting Lines
06/25/2010 -
Wimbledon, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Isner's second match at Wimbledon
didn't last nearly as long as his first and it also marked the American's exit
at the All England Club.
Thiemo De Bakker of the Netherlands took advantage of an obviously tired Isner
and rolled to a 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 second-round victory on Friday.
Isner was coming off his epic three-day, five-set, first-round marathon
against France's Nicolas Mahut. The 23rd-seeded Isner posted a 6-4, 3-6, 6-7
(7-9), 7-6 (7-3), 70-68 victory in the first-round match that set all kinds of
records.
It started Tuesday and ended Thursday in a battle that lasted a total of 11
hours and five minutes. The fifth set alone, which started Wednesday after
darkness had initially halted play on Tuesday, took a mind-boggling 8 hours,
11 minutes to complete, including 65 minutes of action on Thursday.
De Bakker, who went five sets in his first-round match on Tuesday, needed just
74 minutes to polish off Isner on Friday.
Isner looked stiff and needed attention from the trainer during Friday's
match. He clearly didn't have anything left in the tank and lost the first set
in just 16 minutes. It didn't get much better, as De Bakker broke immediately
and Isner finally held serve for the first time in the third game of the
second set.
Still, Isner battled through when he could have just walked off the court and
no one would have blamed him.
Isner fired up a record 112 aces during his first-round match, but on Friday
didn't muster one. He won less than half of his service points and was broken
seven times. He didn't earn a single break point against De Bakker's serve.
De Bakker won 45 of his 55 service points, including 11 aces, as Isner's
movement was sluggish.
