Isner joins stellar 2012 The Boodles field
Big hitting American John Isner is the latest top ten player to join the all-star field for The Boodles 2012, held at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire from 19 – 23 June.
Isner, currently ranked 10 in the ATP World Tour rankings, joins Juan Martin Del Potro, Richard Gasquet, Stanislas Wawrinka, Gael Monfils and Alexander Dolgopolov in the eight-man field, with two players yet to be announced for the pre-Wimbledon grasscourt event.
