Isner tops Roddick
John Isner
NEW YORK. Andy Roddick's hopes of a second US Open crown, six years after his first, were blown apart by giant compatriot John Isner in the first major upset of the men's tournament.
The six-foot-nine-inch (2.03m) product of the US collegiate system stunned the fifth seed and top US hope 7-6 (7/3), 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 7-6 (7/5) in a 3 hours 51 minutes, third-round clash between two of the biggest servers in tennis.
There were scares also for top seed and defending champion Roger Federer and fourth seed Novak Djokovic.
Both dropped their opening sets but both bounced back to win in four.
