Getting Ready for Roland Garros

Posted on May 23, 2008 by John Isner

Hey there everyone: I am just arriving in Paris after competing in the Hypo Group Tennis International in Austria. I was very pleased with how I played in Austria, especially since it was only the second tournament that I have ever played on red clay. I defeated Simone Vagnozzi of Italy in the 1st round 6-3,6-2 and then lost to Nikolay Davydenko in 3 sets. Davydenko is so tough especially on clay, so being able to take him to 3 sets on red clay has given me alot of confidence going into the French Open where I will play Juan Ignacio Chela in the 1st round. anyways I will keep you all updated on everythinh I am doing in Paris. It’s real late here, almost 2 a.m. so I am going to get some must needed rest and I will talk with everyone tomorrow.
