Isner wins another long match

Tennis Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-seeded American John Isner needed a little more than 2 1/2 hours to beat Luxembourg qualifier Gilles Muller, 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (9-7), in the second round Wednesday at the Atlanta Tennis Championships.

Isner, who is playing his first tournament since Wimbledon where he prevailed in an 11-hour, 5-minute match over Frenchman Nicolas Mahut in the first round, fired 33 more aces on Wednesday. He leads the ATP Tour with 705 aces this season.

After gaining the upperhand in the tiebreak, Isner finished off his opponent when Muller hit a return wide. Next up for Isner will be American Michael Russell, who defeated Germany's Rainer Schuettler, 1-6, 6-2, 7-5.

Mardy Fish, the No. 6 seed, got past fellow American Robby Ginepri, 6-1, 7-5. Fish's quarterfinal opponent will be American Taylor Dent, who upended fourth- seed Horacio Zeballos of Argentina, 4-6, 6-2, 6-0.

Top seed Andy Roddick, who received an opening-round bye, plays his second- round match against Rajeev Ram Thursday. Third seed Lleyton Hewitt battles Slovakia's Lukas Lacko

This is the first year since 2001 that Atlanta has held an ATP World Tour tournament. That year the tournament was held in late April on clay and an 18- year-old Roddick defeated Belgium's Xavier Malisse in the final. Malisse is seeded seventh this week and will play Ukraine's Illya Marchenko on Thursday.

The other second-round match has South African Kevin Anderson playing American Donald Young.

The tournament winner will receive $91,800.
