John Isner and Sam Querrey lost their first round doubles match to Jurgen Melzer of Austria and Philipp Petzschner of Germany 3-6, 7-6 (7), 10-5. I can't say that I'm surprised by this loss, especially considering Querrey won his singles match against Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-4 earlier today. It's tough to go right back out there and play doubles after a tough 3 setter like that.
Up next for John in singles is Andreas Seppi of Italy. Seppi is currently ranked number 30 in the world. Isner and Seppi are scheduled to be the fourth match played on Pietrangeli court. Play on this court begins at 11AM local time, which is 5AM Eastern. So to be honest, I have no idea when this match will start! My best suggestion is to follow Courtney Nguyen (@SI_BTBaseline). Courtney is all over the ATP, and will likely tweet when the match is set to begin.
