US Open - Men's Third Round
19 Philipp Kohlschreiber d 9 John Isner - 64 36 46 63 64
This match tied as the latest finish at the US Open ending at 2:26 am.
This is Philipp's 6th trip to a 4th round at a Slam: 1-4.
The 1 win just came at Wimby so can he make it 2 Slams in-a-row?
He'll next face 8 Janko Tipsarevic - H2H: 2-2. Very doable.

As for Isner... He couldn't get past the 3rd round at all 4 Slams this year.
And all 4 of those losses were defeats in 5 sets. Sucks, but it's ok.
My problem is this... In 19 Slams played he's been to the 4th round 3 times.
And has exactly ONE quarterfinal showing - at the US Open last year.
BUT - if you listen to the ridiculously biased commentating of Gimelstob...
You'd think he was a serious contender at every Slam.
Um Justin, there is zero evidence of that, zero.
To be clear - my problem is not John, it's Justin.
I get that they are chums but it should not cloud his blatherings.
On a positive note: John cleaned up well for Vogue this month:
