“It’s still lingering,” Isner said. “For the first couple of days after I did it, I was bedridden.”
On Thursday, he decided to play the Grand Slam event…
“I’m gonna be well-rested, but I’m not going to be sharp,” he said Friday on a phone call from his Tampa home.
While most of the tennis world was already in New York, Isner took a flight there later than he planned to.
“I thought for sure that I was going to miss it,” Isner said about the tournament, which begins this week.
