I know it's not a Grand Slam but the players usually give a pretty good effort in Davis Cup. That's an amazing win for Isner.

Adding insult to injury was the mis-translation of Federer's French remarks into English after he and Olympic gold-medal partner Stanislas were beaten in doubles.
While Federer said: "I played a good doubles, and Stan not a bad one," the remark was reported in English as Federer saying his partner played poorly.
But the Swiss said the matter has been put to rest along with any lingering memories. "It was a tough weekend for us, we were clearly not at our best at home," said the 30-year-old, who begins Rotterdam play as top seed on Wednesday night against Frenchman Nicolas Mahut.
"It was a disappointing result. But I had a day to recover on Sunday and that helped. The Stan comment was taken completely the wrong way.
"I'd never say that, and I'll move on quickly. I spoke with both (captain) Severin (Luthi) and Stan to make sure there is no misunderstanding."

Was cheering hard for Spain and happy to see they are up 2-0 and will be up 2-1 going into Sunday after the Bryan brothers win tomorrow. Isner lost another tough one in 5 sets. Anybody know what his record is in 5 setters? Feels like he loses every one to me.
