Article Grading:

when the dust settles after Washington, the paragraph about it should be rewritten and slimmed down. I added details after each of his first three wins there, but the win over Haas and making the semis eclipses everything else about it, except for the fact that he had to win 3rd set tiebreaks 4 straight days to get there. Definitely the Wayne Odesnik mention can be dropped. If he didn't beat Haas in the quarters, it would be relevant. I would also get rid of "the biggest win of his career" for now, also. He's been a pro for a month. Every win has pretty much been his biggest win, although after his first round win over Henman, he said that was his second greatest tennis moment, behind winning the NCAA team title in May.

ok, as noted above, i rewrote the Washington paragraph, now that it is over. editors had just piled on details successively with not enough attention to what was written previously (e.g., all 5 wins were described in detail as 3rd set tiebreaks, then another sentence was added to say all 5 wins were 3rd set tiebreaks). i got rid of all scores but the final, and just listed his victims all at once in a list, instead of a separate sentence for each. and since Isner should not have even been there but for Gonzalez's late withdrawal freeing up the wild card, I added a reference to that fact as well.

Nope.
