Cam took the first set vs Isner. He has lost just 2 points on serve so far.

6-4 *0-1

Good set for Cam. Can always turn against Isner though

Yes, Isner not quite up there as a great returner but if he actually manages to win 4 return points in a game and break then it can be a bit of an issue to break back or of course, even if not, there's Isner's no break TBs.

Interruption. 6-4 2-2*

Isner got his TB win in set 2 and has managed one break of serve in set 3.

6-4 6-7(5) *3-5

L56: John Isner (USA) WR 26 defeated Cameron Norrie WR 31 by 4-6 7-6(5) 6-4 cry

26 aces to Cam's 12! Just like the old days: all our hopes resting with Andy!

Isner's final 3 aces were the last 3 points from him leading *5-4 15-15. He's very good at what he does but it must be so frustrating for many of his opponents.

Disappointing, but not surprised .

Andy is on second court today, slightly surprised hes not on centre. Time moves on I guess.

Joe and Neal/Dan go in doubles and at least Cam has that left as well.

Andy is hardly in a carpark! Tough schedule - great for the 2nd court ticket holders though, some great players to be seen.

indiana · Tennis legend

I see that, after coming back from a break down in set 1, Andy had 2 BP/SPs at 5-4* 40-15

Not to be but competitive against a good and fairly in-form player, though Liam beat him at the Olympics.
