Second set: Isner 1-6, 4-5 Federer* (*denotes server)
A little hop as Isner returns – he’s clearly feeling pain in his foot. A few points later he yelps in pain and limps around the baseline: he barely moves for the next return of serve. This may not last long…
Second set: *Isner 1-6, 4-4 Federer (*denotes server)
Isner is being treated by the trainer – he’s having his foot looked at. He glances across at his opponent and says “Sorry, Roger”. Excellent manners, his parents should be proud. Anyway, Isner is able to continue but doesn’t look entirely comfortable on his serve (not that that stops him from sending down an ace to make it 30-15, and another to hold).
