Wimbledon 2022: Andy Murray crashes out in second-round, loses to USA’s John Isner
In contrast to his third-round exit last year at his home Grand Slam, the Briton felt his game and his body were prepared for a second-week run this fortnight.
Second-seeded John Isner beat Slovakia's Lukas Lacko 7-5, 6-4 on Friday to reach the BB&T Atlanta Open semi-finals.
Seeking his fourth Atlanta title in five seasons, the big-serving Isner will face third-seeded Gilles Muller of Luxembourg. Muller beat American Tommy Paul 6-3 6-1.
Isner won the Hall of Fame Open on Sunday in Newport, Rhode Island, for his 11th career title all at the ATP World Tour 250 level. The 6-foot-10 former University of Georgia star lost to Nick Kyrgios in the 2016 at Atlantic Station after winning the hard-court event the previous three seasons.
