Isner won in straight sets in February in Delray Beach | Forum

MADISON, Wis. Michael Porter Jr. Jersey . -- The Big Ten gantlet is here for No. 11 Wisconsin.The Badgers must open conference play by facing three opponents ranked eighth or better in the AP Top 25 over the next three games. They face four ranked opponents over the next five games.It starts this weekend with a visit to No. 8 Michigan State.We see the rankings of our opponents, but were going to approach this Big Ten season like we always have, running back Dare Ogunbowale said. This is why we play at Wisconsin.Its hard to push around the Badgers (3-0), a program historically known for tough, hard-nosed defenses and a punishing running game.The defense remains strong, though there is plenty of uncertainty in the offensive backfield going into Saturdays showdown at Spartan Stadium.Out of the top four running backs on the depth chart, only Ogunbowale isnt on the injury report. Lead tailback Corey Clement is listed as questionable for Michigan State with a sore left ankle that he injured two weeks ago against Akron.And its unclear which quarterback will start handing off the ball to the running backs. Bart Houston is listed as the starter on the depth chart , but coach Paul Chryst on Monday left open the possibility that backup Alex Hornibrook could play as well, or even start.Hornibrook, who lost a competition in training camp for the starting job, may have thrown the race open again for his performance last week against Georgia State. He relieved Houston in the middle of the third quarter and led what had been a struggling offense on three scoring drives. Wisconsin avoided the upset and beat the Panthers 23-17 .Both have to be ready to play, to be sure. Im positive of that, Chryst said when asked if Houston was still the starter. I told them theyll be games when theyre both going to play. You do it in hockey, you have two goalies.The Badgers could just be trying to keep Michigan State guessing, too.Houston, a senior, has started all three games this season. He has completed 62 percent of his 71 passes for 527 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Hornibrook, a redshirt freshman, has played against Akron and Georgia State. He has a 76 percent completion rate on 17 passes for 183 yards with two scores and one interception.We need both of them to keep going ... You know what, Ill let the week determine all this stuff -- with whos going to play tailback, whos going to play left guard, whos going to play quarterback, said Chryst, running off a list other positions with depth questions.As for the schedule , Wisconsin is embracing the challenge after a few years of getting some breaks because of Big Ten scheduling quirks.After Michigan State comes a trip to the Big House to play No. 4 Michigan. The Badgers then get a bye week before hosting No. 2 Ohio State in prime time on Oct. 15.There is still no letup after that game, with a trip to Iowa and a visit from No. 20 Nebraska following Ohio State.The always even-keeled Chryst just wants his team to focus on the next game.Youve got to approach each week as its own week, Chryst said. The best way for us to act and be is in the moment, so were excited its Michigan State week.Game notes Besides Clement, RBs Taiwan Deal (right ankle) and Bradrick Shaw (right shoulder) are also listed as questionable, along with OL Jon Dietzen (right leg) and DE Billy Hirschfeld (left leg). ...

ATLANTA -- Top-seeded John Isner and second-seeded Kevin Anderson set up what Atlanta Open officials will be the "tallest" final in ATP Tour history. The 6-foot-10 Isner beat Lleyton Hewitt 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (5) on Saturday, and the 6-8 Anderson topped American Ryan Harrison 6-3, 7-6 (3) in the night semifinal. Isner is 5-3 as a pro against Anderson, and they played several times before that. "Weve been playing each other since, I think the first time was the fall of 2005 (when Isner was at the University of Georgia and Anderson at Illinois)," Anderson said. "We both serve quite well. ... I definitely think there have been times when the success hes had has pushed me to do well." Isner lost in the Atlanta finals in 2010 and 2011 to fellow American Mardy Fish. "Its my third final here, and I would certainly like to win it but Im not putting any extra pressure on myself," Isner said. Isner took the first set against Hewitt, winning 88 per cent of all points on first serve and 68 per cent on second. Ther American had 10 of his 21 aces after ringing up 50 in his first two matches of the tournament. "My weapon is my serve," Isner said after breaking the Australian with a cross-court forehand to end the set. "His weapon is his return so it was a fun match." Hewitt, the former world No. 1, began figuring out the booming serves and spinners, and broke Isner twice to win the second set. "He anticipates so well," Isner said after moving to 2-4 against Hewitt. "Hes not one of those guys that goes back to the fence and (waits for hard serves). Its similar to (No. 1 Novak) Djokavic. He just absorbs 140 mph serves from me. If I dont hitt my spot, its coming back. Cheap Nuggets Jerseys China. " Hewitt was not available after the match because he and countryman Chris Guccione were resting for a late doubles semifinal match against Britons Colin Fleming and Jonathan Marray. In the third set, the players stayed on serve until the tiebreaker, but not without scares. At 3-3, Isner fought off triple service break with five straight service winners. "It doesnt look good for me if I go down a break 4-3 in the third," Isner said. "That was a huge game, massive game, and . . . saved the match for me." He also survived a break before going up 6-5. Isner took leads of 3-0 and 4-1 in the tiebreaker. Hewitt clawed back to 5-5 with one more serve. After returning it, Isner moved forward. That had not worked well earlier as hed bumped several short Hewitt volleys back into the net. But the big guy didnt want to bang balls back and forth. A defensive backhand slice went hard left beyond Hewitts to put Isner up 6-5. "A guy like (Hewitt), chances are hes not going to tighten up and make a loose mistake. And hes better than me from the baseline," Isner said. "At that moment, I was a little bit tired . . . and I wanted to play that point aggressively." When Hewitt sent Isners next serve far wide right, the American pushed his ATP-best tiebreaker mark to 24-6 while Hewitt fell to 5-6. In the only Isner-Anderson match this year, Isner won in straight sets in February in Delray Beach, Fla. The second-seeded Anderson, from South Africa, is ranked No. 21 in the world, and will move into the top 20 with a win. Isner is No. 22 with a chance to pass Sam Querry (20) as the highest-ranked American with a win.
