Seeds:

1. John Isner
2. Ivo Karlovic

It's a tennis-nightmare-come-true: Isner and Karlovic are the top two seeds at an event. :cover

I hope Sock or Smyczek wins.

An Isner-Ivo final should be very scintillating. :snicker A 6-7, 7-6, 7-6 thriller. Will take about 45 minutes.

this year is the 40th edition of this tourney. final grasscourt event of 2015 (2daviccup qf not inc).

I hope Sock or Smyczek wins.

:clap Me too. Here's to hoping!

 

[Kirijax]

Smyczek loses 3 and 4 to a qualifier in the first round. Ouch.

Querrey wins two tie breaks to advance to the round of 16.

Was any one worried about Sock's match with Stepanek? I thought this was a very tricky match for Sock and maybe even a potential upset but wow. Sock blows Stepanek off the court 6-2, 6-0. :clap

And tented is saved from his nightmare scenario as Isner is knocked out in the first round 6-7(5), 6-3, 7-6(8) by Rajeev Ram! :s

I'm so glad I never got on that Isner fan train! He will just break your heart; one day a world beater, then the next he can't get past a qualifier outside the top 100! That DC loss to Ward will forever taint his career IMO; among other horrible losses! :nono :angel: :cover :dodgy:

If Rajeev can beat Isner on Grass, it almost means it is time to retire for Isner. :snicker

Rampras is just the better grass-courter.

 

[Kirijax]

Sock comes close to going out but beats Lacko 3-6, 7-6(4), 6-4. Moves on to the QF.

Johnson goes down in straight sets to Ito.

Mannarion had to finish his 1st round which h won 6-4 in the third. But now he is playing Vasselin and down a set. If he goes down, that would leave three of the top eight seeds in the QF. Sock could meet Dr. Ivo in the SF.

Brown is up a break and leading 4-3. He could serve it out tomorrow.

Brown is up a break and leading 4-3. He could serve it out tomorrow.

And I hope he does it. Would be great to see Bob Marley getting some good results, nit just the occasional Rafa upset.

Brown looks odd in a way though. This huge head of very heavy looking hair and these skinny arms.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Why did not Dreddy Brown play in Newport before (assuming if true)? It should not be too difficult to get in to this tourney.
