What an amazing week - brilliant work Dan. So pleased he's showing how serious he is about his tennis now. Filling a gap.

Isner must hate the Brits. I wonder how many other Top 10 players have been beaten by 4 different GB players in singles ?

Andy, Kyle, Dan and let me guess........., was it in a Davis cup? Hmmmmmmm

Edit

That is a serious question, 'cos I don't know the answer Bob.

Fantastic. Well done Dan.

Evo what a star! Looking forward to the final, hopefully he has matured and will be able to cope with some success and really enjoy being part of the GS main draws for the rest of the year. He should really set his heart and head on becoming a top ten player there will be a window of opportunity for him over the next 3 years. I just hope he can climb through it.

Not quite, Isner WR9 doesn't quite overtake Cilic WR7.

But a tremendous performance, Dan really figured out how to deal with Isner. Getting better and better, heading for top 100 - and not even a full year yet

Just realized that. How embarrassing from me to forget that. Sorry Cam.

Did Bedene play and beat Isner when he played for GB to add to the count?

As has now been answered above by FW, Yes, I was thinking of Wardy in the DC. Embarrassingly I forgot about Cam so that is in fact 5 Brits that have beaten Isner.
