John Isner v Albert Montanes

It's not very often that I like to get on pre match but on this occasion I'll make an exception!

I see there's lots of bleating on the Betfair forum that Montanes has a good chance here and that Isner is a lay!!

Well I'm sorry to disappoint them all, but Isner is going to blow Montanes away on a hardcourt! Montanes is only this deep into the tournament because he hasn't actually played anyone!! Isner has beaten Robredo (World No. 16), Monaco(30) and Garcia Lopez(43) whereas Montanes has beaten Lammer(209), Statham(332) and Lemke(456). I know rankings can hide the facts but not ranking differences like these! I would have had Isner in the high 1.20's or 1.30 as an absolute maximum.

Isner to serve first!!

Here we go it's 3-2* and Isner has 0-30!! ... pffft 15-30 ... 14-40 C'mon John!! LOL Break!

4*-2 Big Bad John!! And that will do me happy with my green.

£321.67 on Both














It's 6-5* in the 2nd set so free game for Isner so I've lumped back on at 1.12 hoping for a break or at least a tiebreak win.
15-0 ... 15-15 ... c'mon John apply a bit of pressure ... 30-15 ... 30-30 Now then can we have a MP? ... ACE!! Looked wide to me though! 40-30 ... Holds.

Tiebreak it is then! Isner to serve 1st!
No silly errors now John!!
1-0** Ace!! Now for 2 x MB's please.
1-1* Just the one then?
1**-2 OK gotta be holds then!!
2*-2 And another please
2-3** FFS Double Fault!!
3-3* MB back! Another please John.
4**-3 Yess!!! Now 2 holds please!!
5*-2 And I'm out of this for £501.27 on Both.















Isner Wins 6-2 7-6(5)
Profit: £501.27
