Update on Isner
Got an email from his mom, Karen, saying that John likely won't play until Tuesday evening.
I checked up on his latest ATP ranking. After his win in a challenger tournament in Lexington, Ky. (from what I can tell Isner's won both tournaments he's entered) Isner is now 416th in the world, 39th in the U.S. That's pretty impressive considering just a month ago he was 839th. Heck, just a week ago he was 745th. At this rate, Isner should be top 100 by the start of August, then No. 1 in the world by the start of September.
Perhaps that extroplation doesn't quite play out, but it's still a pretty promising start to his pro career. Some guys get derailed right away when they realize the pro grind can be, well, a grind. Obviously Isner's avoided that pitfall so far.

Congratulations to Justin Good for pitching the winning game at the NABF High School World Series yesterday in Greensboro NC. He is a fine athlete and utility baseball player. He is the guy to keep your eyes on in 2008.
