John Isner VS Roger Federer, Who will win?

John Isner beat Roger Federer : 7-5 7-6 7-6

Federer 6-3 7-6 6-4 but of course I'd like to see Isner as a winner.

Aren't you jumping the gun a bit? Federer's still playing his second round match.

Yeah, he might get one set to a TB, but Fed in straight. If all cards fall Isner's way he may pull out a TB and force a fourth, but very doubtful.

Roger in straights due to experience and he's a better player.

I'd love to see Isner winning, but ....don't think so

Isner will never get close to breaking Fed's serve so he will have to win 3 tiebreaks and that isn't happening. Fed will break him a couple of times and win one set in a tiebreak.

LOL, Capdeville is still playing. But what they hey

Isner is going to lose. But that would be cool if won. But he won't. But there's a chance. Roger has some iffy results with people younger than him that he plays for the first time... soooo, I dunno. But, I am happy for Isner as much as he ruined my Washington experience, beating all my guys, I forgive him though. I just hope the match is intense and lives up to all the hype.

I wish Isner had done something to piss Roger off, so he could go into "Super Psycho Mode" and whitewash Isner, but I wouldn't be surprised if Roger manages to drop a set.

Isner should call Mirka ''Juliette'' or "Fatty.'' :devil:

He could sit Isner's mom beside Mirka. That woman just looks like one of those obnoxious cheering sports moms.

I know. She was so annoying. :o This is not high school where you go ''That's my boy'' in the bleachers.

EXACTLY.

She looked like the mom at the high school football game who has the cowbell and sits right behind you. Her fist pumping was terrible. I'm hoping Federer shuts her up more than I'm actually hoping he beats Isner.

Seriously, Isner is 22, not 12. I think she and the rest of his obnoxious group are biggest reason I don't want to root for the guy.

There's a Facebook group where Isner apparently said while drunk to his friends that they have to come and be rowdy and cheer him on if he somehow plays Federer at the U.S. Open.

So, yay that.

Isner in 5.

So this is the new tactic for beating Federer? If you can't win by talent alone, just invite a bunch of your friends to your match to try to annoy Federer? Classy stuff.

J-Block Part I. :banana:

I hate his group!!!!! I think the thread needs to leave mom alone, like it's a sin son is bringing home the dough to buy you a new car. If I were mom, I'd be falling onto the court.

But his group, like, his college dudes are worse than the J Block. I got into a yelling match with one of those guys this summer, and someone had to yell at us "Take it outside." haha

Federer in 3 and only 1 tiebreak required.

Roger in 3, and easily.

i hope its a good match. it really could be i think.

I know. She was so annoying. :o This is not high school where you go ''That's my boy'' in the bleachers.


Sweeting's mom is worse. I experienced her today. :lol:

Cheer for him losing. That's great. ;)

yeah, i just want it to be a good match too. it will be. It will be a night match, the Isner posse will be like wild coyotes... I expect it to be interesting, overhyped, but fulfilling

I actually had a dream and saw Federer losing to Isner in straight sets, the last two being 7-5 6-1. lol. But it was meant to be the first round.

Isner in 3

Cheer for him losing. That's great. ;)

Isner will do better against Federer than that wuss Gasquet will.

Guys on USA say it will be an afternoon match, not an evening match. Shame.

I think it's a little bit probable only after first set for Isner 7-6 with extremely long tie-break and many set points saving by John ;)

John Isner beat Roger Federer : 7-5 7-6 7-6

maybe Inser should try to beat Ferrer on hardcourt before he goes on beating Roger in straight sets

6-3 6-4 6-4 Roger.

A. an idiot
B. stupid
C. A & B
D. Nadal fan, which is A B AND C

Eh, well, to each his own. I guess I could stomach the outfit for another few matches if he would just lose the giant shiny purse.

You know a poll is not serious when you have 11 posters voting for a Isner 3-0 result

My prediction - Isner in 3

I know. She was so annoying. :o This is not high school where you go ''That's my boy'' in the bleachers.

I am so glad others found her :rolleyes: (cant think of any word remotely appropriate about her) I would have died if my mother would have acted like that in elementary school let alone at the USO on camera!

I hope fed creams him!

I guess some of them over here desperately waiting for federer to loose (needless to say most of them r nadal fans and duck fans).....lets see wat happens

You know a poll is not serious when you have 11 posters voting for a Isner 3-0 result

My prediction - Isner in 3


I always pick the wrong guy. so i deliberately picked icky isner!
I really hope fed bagels this guy in 30 minutes too!

:silly:

Roger in 3 with 1 tiebreak (74%) or 2 tiebreaks (20%) .. or 3 (6%).

The good news is that we won't have to see the tuxedo outfit again. :)

What- No fashion statement?????
Whod of thought fed would have such tacky taste:p

11 people voted for Isner and in straight sets. :haha:

Isner must be bad if Case is even rooting for Federer. :eek:

Roger 6-4 6-3 6-4 :)

This Isner guy warmup with hewitt for a set and got broken twice by hewitt.
NO chance but it should be a entertaining match.

Isner must be bad if Case is even rooting for Federer. :eek:

:haha: that is so true.! I am actually cheering on fed:confused:
I see Isner as an attack on tennis

Isner could be quite the handful for Fed. Fed has never played him, he hits 115-120mph second serves and has a decent ground game.

Hopefully, Fed can adjust to that serve fast.

This Isner guy warmup with hewitt for a set and got broken twice by hewitt.
Well, that certainly doesn't bode very well for him then, does it?

Hopefully, Fed can adjust to that serve fast.

roddicks serve doesnt bother roger

Anything is possible, but somethings are very unlikely. What all guys that defeated Roger on the last couple of years had in common?! Big serve?! Or fast guys who can keep the ball in play, making Roger hit one shot after another?! So ... do the math. Of course that being able to do the math requires a brain- a "muscle" that some spartans arent used to exercise.

roddicks serve doesnt bother roger

He has played Andy 14 times.

Ferrer seems to have worked out Isner very quickly in the 2 (?) matches they've played. Why wouldn't Federer?

Have u seen roger play tonight? theres noooooooooo way in hell roger's gonna lose to Isner playing like that...
there wasnt any way in hell for Isner to win in a best of 5 even with roger were playing like he did in first round. :rolleyes: flame me. sue me. insult me. but thats the truth.

Someone on Television Without Pity posted the entry on Isner's facebook which reads as follows

When John gets into the US Open he will perhaps be matched up in the first round with world #1 Roger Federer. If, in such a scenario, you are totally prepared to make the trip to NY in late August to offer both rabid support of John and merciless heckling of the smug Swiss, then join this group.

I imagine that John himself did not post this - but still I guess he sanctioned it and - gah. It makes me wish that John was not a fellow Bulldog but a Florida Gator or Auburn Tiger because that is crass and stupid imo. I had goodwill towards Isner since we are both alums of the same institution- even though serve games bore me- but yuck. Goodwill shriveling up faster than Angelina Jolie right now.

I hope Roger sees this and kicks his ass.

And nice to see that Rafa bashing is alive here- since it has been declared and agreed upon that anyone who is a fan of Nadal is an idiot. :p Good thing I like Roger so much....:p :p

Isner will use his all court game and technical prowess to upset Ego King. Federer probably can't sleep, feeling threatened by one of the all time great serve and volley players of this era. :scared:

J-Block part 2. Terrific.

Isner is so humble. :worship:

Isner: 22 Vote

Fed: 34 Vote

Isner d. Fed 3-6 6-7(2) 7-6(8) 7-6(15) 6-0

Yeah...hope fed sees this....and come firing against Isner ala against djoke in Aus 07.......the more the media hypes it the more careful roger is going to be....again ala the way roger came against roddick in the semis of Aus 07...remember the media build-up tht....C'mon Fed

Isner: 22 Vote

Fed: 34 Vote

Its mostly duck and nadal fans....HOPING for the UPSET...coz they know roddick has a good chance of getting spanked if he meets fed in the quarters.....so its more of a hope than prediction

J-Block part 2. Terrific.

On the bright side- either Peter Bodo or Steve Tignor at Tennis World wrote that they went to Blake's first round match and folks in the stands got irritated by the J-Block- the the point where someone yelled at them to "get a life." Since the crowds have been increasingly warming up to Feds through the years at the USO- if Isner's band is obnoxious- it may inspire some previous neutrals to root for Roger.

Isner d. Fed 3-6 6-7(2) 7-6(8) 7-6(15) 6-0

And then you wake up.

Just would like to see "Johnny Boy" makes a nice showing. And I do not see any problem with his cheering section, just family and friends excited to see him doing so well as a professional. Get um John!

Wow I may eat my words but I don't see one thing Isner has that could trouble roger, big serve? give me a break

Isner def. Federer 67 76 67 76 76

Isner def. Federer 67 76 67 76 76

Nadal can only dream. :angel: :rolleyes: :devil:

Fed is gonna break the guys ankles between running him all over the court and sliceing the ball to both both forehand and backhand. If he can break Roddick regularly Isner should be fairly comfortable for Fed to play.

Isner plays a little better from the baseline than Karlovic, I think, which might allow Roger a little more rhythm than Ivo, too.

I hope John defeats Roger too, but there's no way in hell that is going to happen. The way Roger was playing tonight (not even perfect, but good enough to down lame-o capdeville), John will be lucky to get to a few tie breaks. And, if the nearly impossible does happen...that John pushes fed to four sets, I don't see anything wrong with his Mom cheering him on. This is his first freaking US Open, and he made it into the third round where he's going to face Roger Federer...she can't get a littl excited about that? Geez, lighten up people, it's not your mom.

I just hope his friends don't start causing trouble, a la the J-Block.

Nobody suggested she couldn't cheer.

EDIT: It really interested me that someone said Hewitt broke him twice in their warmup. It is a warmup, but it's not like they were just walking around and lobbing balls all over the court. Personally, I'd love to Roger start with a break. I think if he can get a break early and establish that Isner lone weapon is not going to be a factor, Isner will donate start giving him even more.

federer is going to bury this american asshole in straight sets
and send his ass back to georgia

He could sit Isner's mom beside Mirka. That woman just looks like one of those obnoxious cheering sports moms.

I know. She was so annoying. :o This is not high school where you go ''That's my boy'' in the bleachers.

EXACTLY.

what? I didn't say that anyone did suggest it. No, none of these people say "man, i wish that woman wouldn't cheer at her son's matches" but they heavily implied it and I wanted to know what the big freaking deal was.

Federer 6-4 6-2 7-6.

Roger's gonna rip that service machine a new one :devil: :D

Isner is a poor man's Karlovic, and Fed handled him the tiebreakers.

what? I didn't say that anyone did suggest it. No, none of these people say "man, i wish that woman wouldn't cheer at her son's matches" but they heavily implied it and I wanted to know what the big freaking deal was.

I didn't imply that she couldn't cheer either.

Notice that the same complaints that aren't registered about other parents. Like we said, when she seems like she's at a high school football game, she's missed the mark.

Roger in straights due to experience and he's a better player.

I agree

Federer easy.

the american young lad in 3 sets

god why do people buy into the hype so easily? Roger wont lose to this guy unless he plays one the worst matches he has played all year and even then I still give him the ods.

John Isner beat Roger Federer : 7-5 7-6 7-6

:haha:

federer in 3

Federer in 4. 6-3 6-7 7-6 6-2.

If Isner will be 75-80% in the first serve, he must be win.
64 76 16 76

god why do people buy into the hype so easily? Roger wont lose to this guy unless he plays one the worst matches he has played all year and even then I still give him the ods.

See, that's the problem... even a mediocre Federer can't possibly have any real roblems dealing with the likes of Isner; but you know, I'd never think guys like Volandri had more than 2% chance to beat Federer, even on clay. Nor did I think there was a real chance for someone like Canas to beat him twice in a row on HC.

Anyway, this match depends on Fed alone, for good or for bad. We know Isner will be hitting serve bombs, no surprises there. But what will Fed bring to the court?

Federer in 3.
Isner will be lucky to force 1 TB,he will get broken few times for sure.

Isner is a poor man's Karlovic, and Fed handled him the tiebreakers.

:worship: So true.

Isner will never get close to breaking Fed's serve so he will have to win 3 tiebreaks and that isn't happening. Fed will break him a couple of times and win one set in a tiebreak.

Agree 100%. But there might be two or even three tiebreaks. ;)

Isner 7-6 2-6 7-6 1-6 7-6 :music: :music: Go Go Go Big John

I say Fed in 3 -- and if it's a sunny day match (which is what the forecast says), it will be more in Roger's favor...

isner, it won't even be close. fed has peaked, the ego king's reign is over. isner is a spartan, he will blow him off the court.

You forgot to show a picture of his pretty man-purse. :hearts:

I agree with some of the more recent posts in that Federer would have to be playing quite badly to lose this. I even think a C class Federer would be enougg to dispose of Isner in 3 or 4.

I hope John defeats Roger too, but there's no way in hell that is going to happen.

I believe a lot of people have been annoyed by the taste-less cheering of the Isner camp. Every player in this tournament has/had his FIRST US Open experience, but not like Isner's. They should be considerate to their fellow audience and opponents. No classy act.

Wait, I need examples. What have they done? I haven't heard anything about this.

"Dude. If I win NCAAs, and play in the US Open, and play Federer, you guys HAVE to be there. You guys have to be there and yell 'Federer, you aint shit, John Isner owns you!!'. Im telling you,

IF YOU'RE THERE, I CAN BEAT HIM." - John Isner (From his group on Facebook aptly titled 'Federer, you aint shit, John Isner owns you')

I guess he believes, atleast when he's drunk he does.

Not in the least. Just amused.

I think ONE J-Block is more than enough, can do without these.

Fed destroys Isner 6-1, 6-0, 6-0

Fed destroys Isner 6-1, 6-0, 6-0

You're nuts. The way Isner serves alone is good for at least 3 or 4 games.

I'm going to be there Saturday night...should be sweet.

I didn't think the mom was that bad. She was just really excited for her son. He's never been on such a big stage before and she was just ecstatic.

I like the chances of the upstart Swiss, even though it would be a huge upset if he prevails. Roger in 3 with one tiebreak set.

if Isner gets a set I'll be happy

I like the chances of the upstart Swiss, even though it would be a huge upset if he prevails. Roger in 3 with one tiebreak set.

So you are saying it would be an upset if the world no. 1, man who has won the last 3 US Opens was beaten? :lol:

Come on now...

Fed will demolish Isner. 6-4, 6-3, 6-2

I like the chances of the upstart Swiss, even though it would be a huge upset if he prevails. Roger in 3 with one tiebreak set.

Definitely I with you Merton, but I believe in Miracles...so I'll take the swiss youngster.

hahha i certainly hope isner goes down, and think so too...
cuz isner is not my fav person to say the least.....

I like Roger's gameplan:


You hope you break him early, yeah, break him apart and beat him.
FastScripts by ASAP Sports

he said post-match, yesterday lol

Federer in 3

Isner can take out the Ego King's arrogance in five long sets played out over four thrilling hours!

He has America with him. :banana:

If Roddick can break him playing the way he has this summer, then Federer should have no problems with him!:p Plus Ferrer owns him; broke him multiple times the past 2 weeks to beat him in Cincy & New Haven. "Anything Ferrer can do, Federer can do it better!!!"

If Federer can manage Karlovic who has more experience and more game than Isner, it is certainly very very improbable that isner has a chance to WIN this match. He can maybe win a set but that is about it. Its not like Fed has a poor service holding record

Isner can take out the Ego King's arrogance in five long sets played out over four thrilling hours!

I see that spartans dont exercise their brain "muscle" that often. The same person who accuses Roger of being an "Ego King" (whatever the hell that might mean), quotes, on his/her signatures, Roger praising Nadal.

When you are in Spartan mode, you think sinewy! :devil:

Fed will win. I would like Isner to win, but I doubt it.

I did not see Isner's mom, but who cares how she cheers? I am sure she is excited for her son and the situation is brand new (in terms of attention, competition and fanfare which is much greater at the Open than in the NCAA).

Uncle Toni needs to start using some brains and get Rafa to W/D and rest for 5-6 weeks. Even the #2 ranking is less important right NOW then getting health in the legs back. I want Rafa around for the long-term, he makes tennis just a bit more entertaining.

Federer in 3 and only 1 tiebreak required.

This will probably be the result.

I think Isner takes a set at most, but I don't see him lasting very long. Fed in straights or in 4.

I thought this poll was a joke, really not a lot to discuss, but here we are - almost ten pages. :confused:

federer loves play the big servers:

top 10 servers this year:

1. karlovic. federer leads 3-0
2. ljubicic. federer leads 11-3, including last 8
3. roddick. federer leads 13-1
4. querrey. federer leads 1-0
5. monfils. federer leads 1-0
6. himself
7. almagro. federer leads 5-0
8. djokovic. federer leads 4-1
9. blake. federer leads 7-0
10. fish. federer leads 5-0

therefore there is no doubt as to who the victor will be

I see that spartans dont exercise their brain "muscle" that often. The same person who accuses Roger of being an "Ego King" (whatever the hell that might mean), quotes, on his/her signatures, Roger praising Nadal.

Didn't you know? Everything Roger says is too just cover up his evil image. He is quite the ass actually. Somehow he has managed to fool all of us into believing he is a nice guy but that is starting to end now.

Federer 6-4 6-4 6-2

Fed all the way! :p

I voted Isner in straights... I mean since we're dreaming, we might as well dream big!

You can already see the "UPSET ALERT" in the thread title when Federer wins :lol:

There's a Facebook group where Isner apparently said while drunk to his friends that they have to come and be rowdy and cheer him on if he somehow plays Federer at the U.S. Open.

So, yay that.

While I wouldn't condone that comment, it was probably made before Isner was on the big stage, when all of this seemed completely hypothetical and highly unlikely.

EXACTLY.

She looked like the mom at the high school football game who has the cowbell and sits right behind you. Her fist pumping was terrible. I'm hoping Federer shuts her up more than I'm actually hoping he beats Isner.

She just looked proud and ecstatic to me. It's all quite new to her on this stage.

I'm not a big Isner fan, btw -- but I can imagine what it's like to be in his situation, or be a family member in this situation.

While I wouldn't condone that comment, it was probably made before Isner was on the big stage, when all of this seemed completely hypothetical and highly unlikely.
I wasn't really complaining about him saying it, especially since he was drunk. I was more complaining about the fact that there will be a bunch of frat-boyish types treating the match as the money shot of their inside joke.

Nothing wrong with being excited. It was a bit much to me, and some others, and some will agree with you and think it was fine. Not really much more to be said to that end.

USA didn't televise his whole match last time - were the "frat-boy" types being annoying in his other matches?

I'm only saying that maybe he was just talking out of his ass. Maybe we should wait to complain until AFTER they act like jerks.

I hope Roger wins in straight sets! I wouldn't want American kids to think Isner's servathon style is something to strive for. That mistake was made before and it wasn't good.

I can't say I even paid attention. His mom was annoying, and that's all I noticed.

Again, he was drunk, and probably said it half-assed. I don't think he was by any means conspiring. (To be honest, I'm completely sure. It sounds like something anyone would say just joking.) I'm just saying, being in college now, there's plenty of potential for annoying college kids to have a giant orgasm over their inside joke being public.

I hope Roger makes mincemeat out of him .:o

Isner is going to get dominated. As long as Roger takes care of his service games--which I'm sure he will because Isner's ground game is pretty damn terrible, he's going to eventually get into Isner's service games. After returning those bombs, I expect Roger to take over rallies easily.

A loss to the 6-1 Fed in full view of predominantly American audience can be psychologically devastating for the 6-9 Isner. Just thinking about how his game plan (to beat the No. 1) will send John in a "tailspin" - for me, it is the called mental thing that will bring about Isner's waterloo tomorrow. As for Fed, no worry, just thinking of what he will wear (will it be the all-black outfit again?).

Fed may actually let Isner win a set (just because he wants to make people entertained during night sessions), because he'll win it anyway

Federer in 6:4, 7:5, 6:2.

While I wouldn't condone that comment, it was probably made before Isner was on the big stage, when all of this seemed completely hypothetical and highly unlikely.



She just looked proud and ecstatic to me. It's all quite new to her on this stage.I'm not a big Isner fan, btw -- but I can imagine what it's like to be in his situation, or be a family member in this situation.

have to agree here. His mom is just excited that isner is winning his first grand slam matches. She isnt being unsporting in her behavior. The people who expect her to be unbiased are :retard:

Read posts.

Probably something like 63 76 64 or 63 76 76 to Roger.

Though I would love Isner to win but it wont happen :lol:

Isner could take one set

This is from a facebook group set up months ago which isner himself was a member of:

Group Info Name: "Federer, you ain't shit, John Isner owns you!!"
Type: Sports & Recreation - Professional Sports
Description: These words uttered by John Isner. Alcohol may or may not have been involved.

When John gets into the US Open he will perhaps be matched up in the first round with world #1 Roger Federer. If, in such a scenario, you are totally prepared to make the trip to NY in late August to offer both rabid support of John and merciless heckling of the smug Swiss, then join this group.

"Dude. If I win NCAAs, and play in the US Open, and play Federer, you guys HAVE to be there. You guys have to be there and yell 'Federer, you aint shit, John Isner owns you!!'. Im telling you,

IF YOU'RE THERE, I CAN BEAT HIM."

has this been posted yet? well..i think this is the true ego king. :lol:

I wish Isner had done something to piss Roger off, so he could go into "Super Psycho Mode" and whitewash Isner, but I wouldn't be surprised if Roger manages to drop a set.

I agree. I love Roger when he's in "Super Psycho Mode"!:devil: :)

Roger will win 3-0

Rogi will have to play well here.

unlucky draw for john's first slam

unlucky draw for john's first slam

playing Rick De Voest in 2nd round you call it unlucky? :eek:

i'll say it for those who hope Federer lose (mostly lovers of big serves maybe, roddicktards and generally people who dont care for the good tennis :lol: ) - Isner 6:0 6:0 6:1. He'll lose the last game serving for the match by making 4 doubles to save the humiliation for Fed while people will think he just got a bit nervous. ;)
