If you like long odds on shots then John Isner at around 1/3 is the answer to your punting dreams in tonight’s first round match. The 6’9’’ right hander from Florida is currently ranked 22 in the World and he comes into the US Open on the back of some strong performances on the US swing that have included a win last week (beat Benneteau in the final), a final in Atlanta and a last four slot in Washington.
He holds a three zip lead over his opponent Marcos Baghdatis, who he beat last week and should do so again tonight. It could go to four sets.
