John Isner Preview – Can American trouble Murray?
There was a First Round victory for John Isner over French player Enzo Couacaud.
That was a long five-set contest, with Isner taking the deciding set 7-5.
The first two sets in the contest were both decided by a tie-breaker so Isner had a long time on the court.
That may well work against him as he takes on Murray on Wednesday.
Isner is at a quote of 7/4 in Wimbledon betting odds* (odds recorded 16:48 GMT on 28th June 2022 at William Hill).
The tall American, known for his heavy serves, has only been past the Third Round of Wimbledon once before in his career.
That was when he put in a surprising run to the 2018 semi-finals.
He was a First Round loser last season at SW19 and doesn’t immediately represent a huge threat in this contest.
