James Ward: Beating John Isner was "difficult"

Great Britain's James Ward admits that it was "difficult" to come from two sets down to beat world number 20 John Isner in the Davis Cup.

James Ward has admitted that it was "difficult" to come from two sets down to win a marathon five-set match against John Isner in the Davis Cup in Glasgow this evening.

The world number 111 secured a 6-7 5-7 6-3 7-6 15-13 win over the American, who is ranked 91 places higher than him in the ATP standings.

After almost five hours on court, the 28-year-old told BBC Sport: "This is by far the best atmosphere I've ever been involved in and thank you very much to all the crowd.

"It was difficult. I had a lot of chances in the last set. It was an unbelievable match."

With Andy Murray beating Donald Young in the other singles match today, Great Britain hold a 2-0 lead.
