John Isner, the giant American, made it through to the last sixteen in Memphis last night with a comfortable straight sets victory over fellow American Ryan Harrison. Isner won 6-1,7-5. He has a potential last eight clash with three time winner Tommy Haas if he makes it through the second round. He remains available at 11 on the washing line this morning although a few firms have shortened to 9.
The puntinplay.com selection for the Telemax in Argentina was a first fence faller. Nicolas Almagro lost to fellow countryman and extravagantly named Daniel Gimeno-Traver. Almagro won the first set and had breaks in the second before losing 7-6, 6-7, 3-6. No doubt he has already departed for Acapulco next week where he defends a Mexican crown he has worn in both 2008 and 2009.
