Comeback King Chela def John Isner 2-6 3-6 7-5 6-3 6-4

Isner :smash:
This match should have been over in three sets but john blew many opportunities.

Credit to Chela though. He seemed to have not panicked.

Losing to Isner on clay in a best-of-5 match would have been a new low for Chela but he managed to turn it around. Is it his first time coming back from 0-2 sets?

delay worked for Chela, or he got used to the serve maybe :rolleyes:

now he meets Verdasco in 2nd Round :cool:

Weird scoreline in this three-days match.

John :o

Had 0-40 and two 15-40s in the third set to break, one at 4-4 in the third which would have sealed it.

3 of 20 bps converted :(

Meh.

No, he came back from 0-2 down against Becker last year at Wimbledon (his first five-set win). Was 0-8 in 5-setters, now is 4-8.

Comical result for both players.

RG first round always = :haha: :haha: :haha:

No, he came back from 0-2 down against Becker last year at Wimbledon (his first five-set win).

and that becker choke cost me money :(

I was there in Roland Garros and saw the first 3 sets on monday.....John should have won in 3 sets, he had so many opportunities.....

WOW! I thought Isner would give Chela trouble. Never expected John to blow a two-set lead. 0/9 BP chances in the third.

Nice one John.

No, he came back from 0-2 down against Becker last year at Wimbledon (his first five-set win). Was 0-8 in 5-setters, now is 4-8.

Thanks Voo :hatoff:

Oh dear me John.

Becker did not choke that match, Chela was the one who almost choked at the end.

Oh, yeah

did not see this match but sounds very exciting

Well done Juan :yeah: But if you lost two sets against Isner on clay, I don't want to know what will Fernando do with you :unsure:

Being broken at least 3 times by Isner on clay= pathetic. :haha:
