Isner Ousted from Open de Nice Côte d'Azur

John Isner fell to Nikolay Davydenko 6-4, 7-6(4) today. There was a clear path to the finals for John, as he would be facing American qualifier Brian Baker in the semifinals.

At this point you really have to question Isner's decision to even play in this tournament rather than getting some extra rest for the French Open. It has to be disappointing to only win one match as the number 1 seed. I don't think that is going to give John the confidence boost he was looking for.

Let's hope John can bring back that flow he had going earlier in the clay court season where he downed both Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Davis Cup, as well as Novak Djokovic at Indian Wells.
