This year thus far has been the breakout year for John Isner – winning his first ATP title, reaching the round of 16 in Australia, and making a heroic Davis Cup debut this weekend in which he played all three days, including a great effort as a last-minute sub in the doubles and a valiant five-set [...]

Two more of the Americans fell Wednesday in Australia — Blake and Wayne Odesnik — but two more moved onto the third round.  John Isner won, meaning Andy Roddick won’t be the sole American in the third round.  Isner next will play Gael Monfils, while Roddick goes against Feliciano Lopez.
Today’s matches for the Americans see Donald [...]

The U.S. will play Serbia — presumably led by Novak Djokovic — in the first round of the 2010 Davis Cup on March 5-7, 2010.  The draw was announced today. 
Because the two countries have never played, the home court advantage for Serbia was decided by a “drawing of lots.”   You can be sure it will be slow red [...]

The draws of Andy Roddick, James Blake and Sam Querrey — the three Americans with the best chances of reaching the finals – all go through Federer.  Roddick has the best path, leading to a quarterfinal re-match with Djokovic, whom Roddick beat in Montreal and Australia earlier this year, but lost a contentious battle last year in Flushing Meadows.  Roddick [...]

The U.S. Davis Cup team will find out their next opponent on September 23 when the draw for 2010 is conducted.  Whom they play will determine where the match in the first weekend of March is played.  Davis Cup matches alternate from home and away, regardless of the time passed since the last match between nations.  [...]

Wimbledon spent $130 million on a roof it didn’t need that is now causing a distracting shadow in one of the greatest finals ever played. I agree with this Guardian blogger.

Against steep odds and the whole of the U.K., Andy Roddick played a fantastic match Friday and beat the hometown hero Andy Murray on his own turf of Wimbledon Centre Court.  (Both players are on Twitter, and should be interesting to see if and what Roddick and Murray post.)
Now, on to the final.  An all-American sweep [...]

The possibility of a big American broom sweeping the four biggest Wimbledon trophies is still alive at this advanced semifinal date.  It seems very likely that the Williams sisters will win the women’s doubles, and one of them will take home the singles crown.  The Bryan brothers are favored to win the men’s doubles, but James Blake and Mardy [...]

The sign hung above the Swiss section in Birmingham’s Davis Cup matches said it all, “Roger We Miss You.” 
 
Andy Roddick took care of business Sunday afternoon in Birmingham, outplaying Stanislas Wawrinka to give the American team a victory over Federer-less Switzerland and putting himself in second place on the American list of all-time Davis [...]

Stanislas Wawrinka beat James Blake Friday in four anemic sets, and Andy Roddick beat Marco Chiudinelli in three with an inspiring challenge by the Swiss fill-in for Roger Federer.  Fore more detail, read Peter Bodo of Tennis magazine at www.tennis.com.
