IW SF: Isner cracks top 10, def. Djokovic 7-6(7), 3-6, 7-6(5)
Completely outplayed...especially in the 3rd. Djoker relied on passive defenses and Isner did a little defensive looping but attacked for the most part. He was at the net a lot as well.
He took some huge gambles. Sometimes they paid off, sometimes they didn't. Isner came to play.

As I said, this is the exact type of match up Djokovic dislikes just like Roddick. It was honestly somewhat expected.
A couple decades too late to complain, no?

Wanted to root "for tennis" but Djoko reminded me how little I liked him with that finger celebration in the third set.
Isner executed the only game plan he had during the 1st set, and the latter half of the 3rd set: go big on the serve and return, hit strong off the forehand, get to net decisively...and thus set yourself up for being able to do that during the TB. All you need there is two points off return, since Djoko will eventually get one back.
