ATP Masters Series 1000 - Quarterfinal
11 John Isner d 13 Gilles Simon - 63 16 75
John is poised to join the top 10 for the first time.
His Sf showing may not be quite enough but a win over Novak might do it.
And/or another strong week at Miami. (Oh that tricky rankings math.)
This is John's 2nd Masters 1000 Sf. He lost a thriller to Tsonga at Paris '11.
Speaking of Novak - they've played twice and Novak has won twice.
But that was in 2010 - John is playing much better. But, Novak is too.
Should be quite an interesting match. Can John gain his first 1000 final?
It's possible. I say this Sf is only 55-45 in Novak's favor. Maybe even 51-49.
