Marcos Baghdatis is in action against John Isner in one of the featured matches on day two of the Montreal Masters.
Isner has been one of the most successful players so far on the North American hard court swing. It's been a superb month so far for him, kick-starting his season after a disappointing first six months.
He won Newport, made the Atlanta final and at the weekend, was within a point of defeating Gael Monfils in the Washington semi-finals. Isner has rarely competed at the Canadian Masters in the past as the Legg Mason Classic is always a big priority for him and he often feels it's a bit too much to compete for three weeks in a row. However this year he's decided to go for it.
It's been a poor season for Baghdatis, quite a disappointment after all the stories in December about his intense off season training regime. It hasn't converted into results and the Cypriot has struggled to find his game on the hard courts this summer, losing early in LA and crashing out to Donald Young in last week's Washington quarters.
Isner has played a lot of tennis recently and is extremely match tough. He should come through this one in straight sets.
