They only played three points and it rained again...

I hope they play tonight or it will mess the schedule up, more rain forecast for tomorrow.

Broke even because I bet on Fognini too :twisted:

Good man, Fognini was a good bet.

Isner would have won if he knew how to serve and volley, thats why karlovic bothers Hewitt and Isner doesn't, Isner can't ralley all day like Hewitt. When Isner came to net on some occasions he only managed to lumber slowly as far as the service line, its difficult when you only s&v 1/10 times. :|

Hewitt does it. I don't see Mahut beating him.

Not sure about that. Mahut had a straightforward 2 set victory in his semi with Russell and finished earlier. Hewitt has just come out of a 3 setter against Isner and will have less time to rest. IMO it's got to favour Mahut at this point.

Isner seemed tired and out of sorts. He made a dismissive gesture with both hands after he went down a break in the 2nd set and immediately disappeared to the locker room before the start of the 3rd. Maybe something physical bothering him again similar to what forced him out of Wimbledon?

Or maybe he just couldn't stomach the thought of having to go on a few hours later and face Mahut again? :wink:

He is always a little like that but even more so today, like the comms said alot of balls went into the net, MORE REASON TO S&V.

I think Hewitt will struggle with mahuts S&V. Mahut to win.

Henman and Mahut are serve and volleyers
Hewitt is Hewitt

Make sense?
