The Daily Forehand analyzes all of Saturday’s big matches, including Roddick’s disappointment:
Full Recaps of Day 6 Matches
Roddick played incredibly passive, contented tennis for the first two sets, which was way too long. Though he fought back in the third and fourth sets, Roddick had already let Isner in too deep, and the taller of the big-serving Americans was able to hang on mightily in the fifth to close out this match. The commentators on Tennis Channel, specifically Ted Robinson, were going on and on about what a
pity it was for Roddick to lose yet another match where he was only broken once, but they never mentioned that he was only able to break the unseeded Isner twice, which is a less than spectacular returning performance against anybody, including somebody 6’9”.
