NEW YORK — There is plenty of good news for John Isner these days.
His wife, Maddy, is due with their first child, a girl, on Sept. 22
Luckily for Isner, that is about two weeks after the US Open men’s final, for which he still remains alive.
“I’m not going to miss the birth of my daughter, that’s for sure,” Isner said before the Open began.
“As long as that baby’s still in her belly, I’ll be here,” he added on Sunday.
After topping Canadian Milos Raonic in a raucous five-setter Sunday evening on Louis Armstrong Stadium, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, Isner moved into the US Open quarterfinals, where he’ll play 2009 US Open champ and No. 3 seed Juan Martin del Potro. It is Isner’s first US Open quarterfinal since 2011, but he says he’s tougher now than he was then.
