WIMBLEDON -- Maybe its because hes so been there and done that at the All England Club. Or maybe?John Isner simply has a bottomless reservoir of patience. Another possibility: Since hes 6-foot-10, maybe length, in general, simply doesnt bother him.As rain pushed his first-round match, scheduled for Tuesday, into Wednesday and then into Thursday, his opponent, Marcos Baghdatis, was often churlish and argumentative with chair umpire Mohamed Lahyani. Isner, the American ace machine, merely went about his business.He eventually dispatched Baghdatis 7-6 (2), 7-6 (5), 6-3.Compared to the 2010 epic with Nicolas Mahut that also ran across a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday -- the fifth-set score was 70-68 -- this one was over in a relative flash. Isner, and even Lahyani, who called that memorable match, both looked as fresh a dish of strawberries and cream.Small wonder. This weeks match required 148 fewer games and 528 fewer minutes than the one in 2010.Whats wrong with American tennis? On Thursday at Wimbledon, absolutely nothing. With the rain holding off for a change, the floodgates opened for American players, who went 10-4.Swiftly joining Isner in the second round after completing suspended first-round matches were No. 18 Sloane Stephens and Donald Young, a Wimbledon junior champion nine years ago, who beat Leonardo Mayer 6-4, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3.Americans into the third round: No. 28 Sam Querrey, a 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 winner over Thomaz Bellucci, and No. 9 seed Madison Keys, who outlasted Kirsten Flipkens 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.No. 8 Venus Williams defeated Maria Sakkari 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, No. 27 Jack Sock handled Robin Haase 6-1, 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-4, Steve Johnson took down Jeremy Chardy 6-1, 7-6 (6), 6-3 and qualifier Julia Boserup stunned No. 7 seed Belinda Bencic, who retired trailing 6-4 1-0.Afterward, Isner said his match reminded him more of this years French Open than the 2010 marathon.I was supposed to play on Sunday and I finished on Tuesday, he said in his postmatch press conference. Its not a great feeling when youre going out there and playing, finishing your first round when some guys are already in the third round. But just the long days in the locker room, the last two days were just brutal.You can only play so much putt-putt in the locker room with your friends and whatnot.Isner produced Isner-like numbers, stroking 33 aces; moreover, 57 of his 91 serves (63 percent) were unreturnable and he was unbroken in 15 service games. He also had 56 winners and only 32 unforced errors.Hes now won all seven of his matches against Baghdatis, who was a semifinalist here a decade ago. Isner, also 31 years old, extended his record at Wimbledon to 8-7. Its a surprisingly mediocre mark on grass for a player with his kind of firepower. This is the only Slam where Isner hasnt reached the fourth round.His booming serve, of course, works better on the slick grass.I mean, if I hit my spots on my serve, a lot of times its night-night, Isner explained. If I go T and I hit T, the balls going to shoot through the court. On the flip side of that, the ball stays low and skips through.Ive got to be very, very diligent about staying low and keeping my big frame down low. The more time I have, generally, the better. If I play the right way and do that at a consistent level, then grass can definitely be very, very good for me.In keeping with the theme of length, Isners second-round opponent, qualifier Matthew Barton of Australia, played a 4-hour, 3-minute match that ended 14-12 in the fifth. What secrets of recovery would the vastly more experienced Isner share with Barton?Im not going to say anything about that, Isner said, smiling mischievously. Im kidding. Thats a joke.I think in his match they probably werent many long points. It went a three-day match like mine, sort of. Its not like he played all five sets today or whatnot. I dont expect him to be laboring any tomorrow. Hell come out guns blazing just like I will.It almost sounded like he was looking forward to his third straight day on the court.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos?linebacker Brandon Marshall says it was extremely concerning to receive a letter filled with racial slurs and threatening language.Just so many racist, derogatory terms that were in it ... just a bunch of crazy things that was in it, Marshall said Friday. Thats what stood out to me, that somebody would have that much hate or malice toward me or put that much energy into writing something like that and send it to me. It takes so much energy to hate. I just dont understand it.Marshall posted photos of the handwritten letter -- which includes multiple threats and racial epithets -- on his Instagram account Friday. The writer told Marshall your time is coming, watch out, and we are channeling a devastating hard hit for you. Something to make you an invalid in a wheel chair.The letter was sent with a return address of Mrs. Jacksons sixth-grade class at?Martin Luther King Middle School, and We love you, Mr. Marshall was written on the envelope. Marshall called that a cover to make sure he received the letter.My first reaction was, I was taken aback, actually, Marshall said. I had to read it over again. Did somebody really say this to me?It said, Youre a great player, so I had a smile on my face, and then not. And Im like, whoa. I actually let Shane [Ray] read it after I read it. ... Disgusting, disheartening, deplorable -- you can use a bunch of words for it.The Broncos security staff is investigating the letter.Im not afraid. I turned it over to team security, and well see what happens, Marshall said. Its not going to spook me. Its not going to make me move any different than Ive moved. Its definitely eye-opening.Coach Gary Kubiak said after practice Friday that the organization is on top of it.ddddddddddddMarshall responded to the letter in his Instagram post, saying, The hatred by some against people of color is one of the reasons we are where were at in the world today, and they wonder why we feel the way we do and take the stances that we take. I received this letter at work.He said he has received an outpouring of support on Instagram since making his post.I just wanted to show that ... to expose that racism still does exist, Marshall said. A lot of people think, Oh, its over; its not out there, but it really is.I wanted to expose that and that there are people like that and we still have a long way to go as people. I wanted to expose that people still hate each other ... whether its because of your belief system or the color of your skin or just because Im not like you, youre not like me.Marshall took a knee during the national anthem before the Broncos first eight games this season as a response to social injustice, including several shootings of black people by police nationwide. He met with Denvers police chief and has donated money for every tackle he has made this season to organizations that work with youth.He said in November that he intended to stand for the anthem for the remainder of the season but would keep working for positive change.The letter is the second known instance of an NFL player being targeted with racial abuse this week. On Tuesday, New York Giants fullback Nikita Whitlock reported a break-in during which burglars drew a swastika and KKK, as well as the word Trump, on walls inside his home.
