Probably game over really since going down a break. Isner breaking you on a court this fast is basically game over :(

I think you're right. Are you watching it, or following the score online?

So often happens. Lose your serve to love the game before and next service game you win to love with ease. Doh. Shame he didn't serve and hit winners like that last game.

That's some ridiculous amount of aces. Impossible to play against. 4 in one game there lol. Kudos to John boring as hell to watch Isner.

That was a gorgeous return to get the BP. And he converts.

I really hope Tursunov can pull this off. He's 6-3 in deciding sets this year, so I give him a shot, but it must be a nightmare to play Isner.

Big John is into the finals.

I am going to try my luck to see if I can get in as a tennis frontier corespondent tonight. I got my camera and the big lens, I'll take some pictures if they let me in.

Wish me luck!

Can I do what Kiu is trying for Roger's Cup? Maybe score an interview with Serena, and ask her questions she has never heard before?:p

Yup, just go and ask, but no questions related to Dimipova are allowed, cause you might get into trouble:D

Sadly it looks like it. Was looking forward to watching it too.

Bummer. And it was shaping up to be such a nice match. Now they'll have to finish tomorrow, and the winner has to play 2.

They're going to try to squeeze it in. Tight at the end of the first set. Haas on the verge of taking it, or else they go to TB.

Haas "was" on the verge of taking 1st set! Some really bad UFE's puts him down in the TB! No fan of DelPo, but I hope he wins in straights! It would be terribly unfair for him to be back on the court in less than 12 hours to play final if it goes deep into the night! I still remember an abomination at the USO quite a few years ago! A player didn't wrap up until well after midnight in 5 sets, but had him on the court at noon playing Connors the next day! I personally would have told them to "kick rocks," but he gave it a go and meekly went down 2, 2, & 2! So far DelPo takes the 1st set!

The rain delay was unfortunate for Haas, because I think he would have run away with the first, but he let his head get away from him in the TB. I hope he can pull himself back together and make it a match, though I agree the winner will want to get off the court and be in good shape for the final tomorrow.
