Simon/Isner In-Match Thread

This is going to be an epic.

Isner is too much fun to watch. Definitely getting my money's worth (I paid for internet, yep!)

There is simply no way Isner loses a tiebreak to this guy.

Amazing that the books keep offering Isner at +100 for tie breaks in live betting. Already made some money of that in the 3rd set TB and have Isner to win 4th set at +210 so hope it goes to another TB.

+110 for Isner to win the tie break if this set goes to one! Isner does look very gassed so have to think he will put everything into the TB and if he does end up losing it I think Simon will take the 5th and the match.

i picked simon and ferrer. 0-2. i am pissed. i can't pick tennis. big serving is the new thing i guess.

grizzlies1 · 09-08-11, 02:05 PM

YESSSSSSSSSSSS! Big John!

face · 09-08-11, 02:06 PM

win for the big fellow. big serve for the big fellow. how many times is the announcer going to say big fellow?

BrianLaverty · 09-08-11, 02:06 PM

Isner plays such a boring brand of tennis... don't know how anyone can actually cheer for him... oh well... nice win for Isner backers

grizzlies1 · 09-08-11, 02:09 PM

Sure he'll never win any awards for playing beautiful tennis, but he has been money for bettors recently!

face · 09-08-11, 02:09 PM

super boring, but wish i had put money on him.

grizzlies1 · 09-08-11, 02:10 PM

What will he be vs Murray? I'm British and hate Murray but think he will easily handle Big John.

Yep... Murray is a slightly better returner then Simon (though Simon is one of the best), Murray's serve is superior to Simon's.

HeeeHAWWWW · 09-08-11, 02:44 PM

Murray will use the same tactics he did in Aus 2010 vs Isner: very high first serve %, at reduced pace, then slice to Isner's backhand a lot. Easy holds most of the time as a result.

Murray is also returning incredibly well lately, it's the part of his game that's working best.

Good job Isner. Take that all you Isner haters.

yisman · 09-08-11, 03:03 PM

It's been raining money in New York today.

Murray should be at least -300.

Yep so we still got 2 usa players left.

BrianLaverty · 09-08-11, 04:17 PM

Murray is -430.... should destroy Isner IMO.

And as an American.. I would much rather have Fish or Young left instead of Isner... can't stand him and he just plays boring, ugly tennis.

At least Roddick will be in the semis when he shocks Nadal
