Isner looks ahead to French Open match against Andy Murray

SOUNDBITE (English) John Isner , defeated Teymuraz Gabashvili 7-6, 4-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2: Q. How do you feel about the matchup and what do you need to do differently this time?

"In our previous matches they have been really close. Just with how I play, I can keep matches close. I think I played him one time in Cincinnati I had match points, and last year in Shanghai I won the first and had a lot of chances in the second. I think in my matches versus him he's played the big points better than me, which is one of the reasons why he's No. 2 in the world. So going forward on Sunday, I'm going to have to step up when I get opportunities."

SOUNDBITE (English) John Isner, defeated Teymuraz Gabashvili 7-6, 4-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2: (Q. Relatively swift three hours and change. How you feeling?)

"I'm fine. It's a little hotter today than it has been, of course. I think any time the weather changes like that, goes from pretty cold to somewhat hot, it's a bit -- it makes it a bit tougher. I was feeling it a little bit, but I did all the right things. It was a five-set match. Wasn't too long. Obviously I have been out there a lot longer than five sets. I feel fine and ready to keep going."
