MELBOURNE (Reuters) - David Ferrer negated John Isner's booming serve to beat the towering American 6-4 6-4 7-5 and advance to his sixth Australian Open quarter-final on Monday.
The 33-year-old Spaniard, considered one of the best retrievers in the game, nullified the 2.08m (6'10") tall Isner's serve and broke once in each set to set up a quarter-final with either Australia's Bernard Tomic or second seed Andy Murray.
