American Davis Cup Hero to complete Wimbledon and London Olympic preparations at The Boodles

As we approach the summer grass court season, the world’s best tennis players will be finalising their preparations for Wimbledon and the 2012 London Olympics. With two opportunities to lift a prestigious title on UK soil, the top players will be looking to get the perfect practice on the lawns beforehand. Held the week prior to Wimbledon, from June 19th – 23rd, Stoke Park plays host to some of the world’s most exciting players for 5 days of competition on their perfectly manicured lawns.

The latest star to confirm his participation at The Boodles is American Davis Cup hero, John Isner. The six foot nine Florida native has powered himself into contention for the biggest honors in the game, with hugely impressive performances during 2012 which have propelled him into the world’s top 10. His heroics in this season’s Davis Cup, where he has won all 4 of his singles matches, including a 4 set victory over Roger Federer in Switzerland, have cemented his super star status back home as well as helping the stars and stripes reach the semi final of the competition. He is also one of only three players to beat World Number 1 Novak Djokovic so far in 2012, alongside Spaniard Rafael Nadal and Britain’s
Andy Murray.

British fans may remember John best for taking part in, and eventually winning, the longest tennis match in history at the 2010 Wimbledon championships. His epic eleven hour record breaking match on court 18, played over three days, against Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, gripped not only the nation, but worldwide audiences.
